Ilyasah Shabazz: Malcolm in the Desert, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Powerful self-transformation practices inspired by Malcolm X's final years, written by his daughter Ilyasah Shabazz. "A classic in the making." ---Spike Lee,

When Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam and set out on a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1964, he did more than cross geographic borders--he transformed his vision of faith, justice, and freedom. InMalcolm in the Desert , Ilyasah Shabazz invites us to walk beside him on that journey of spiritual transformation, reframing pilgrimage as a modern practice. In retracing his steps, she helps us see how the work of changing the world so often begins within.

A daughter's offering to her father's legacy, Malcolm in the Desert reveals the human heart of a legend. Shabazz extracts keen lessons about the value of slowing down, listening deeply, and remembering who we truly are. She calls us to respond to crisis with courage, to meet grief with love, to rediscover faith as a creative force for change, and to dream in more revolutionary colors. These pages paint a new picture of Malcolm X through compassionate prose and galvanizing historical insight that shine alongside Jungian, Buddhist, and Islamic principles and wisdom from leading poets and scholars. Shabazz ties it all together with simple practices to help us answer three central questions: Who are you? What do you care about? What is yours to do?
