| Abstract | "This text examines Malcolm X as literary muse for Haki Madhubuti, one of America's premiere poets and essayists. It contributes to scholarship in refiguring Malcolm X as expressive muse; charting how a disciple built long-lasting African-centered institutions; and revealing how Haki Madhubuti has transformed from black radical of the 1960s to distinguished professor at Chicago State"--Provided by publisher. |
