Rooted in Malcolm X’s political awakening related to the deep study that he undertook while he was in prison, the series has explored the crises of disciplinary enforcement central to American power at home and abroad.
Organized by the Center for the Study of Social Difference at Columbia University in partnership with Columbia Books on Architecture and the City. Co-sponsored by the Department of Music and Institute for Research in African-American Studies/Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies.
