This text provides a phenomenological account of the experience of
anti-black racism as described by Malcolm X. Central to this
analysis is the phenomenology that emerges over the course of
Malcolm's life, which emerges through the various personal
transformations that the autobiography introduces and explores. As
this process unfolds, a variety of different aspects of
lived-experience can be witnessed that becomes situated within the
process of naming that Malcolm employs to situate the specifics of
his experience. For example, the phenomenology of Malcolm's early
childhood experience, is defined by two very different competing
definitions for blackness. Though Malcolm Little and his family
exist or find themselves "thrown" within a social structure that
employs a narrative of anti-black racism, his parents are able to
provide a powerful alternative meaning for blackness that is
informed by the perspective taken from the Marcus Garvey Movement
of the early 1900s.When that narrative is effectively silenced
given Malcolm's separation from his family, the positive meanings
for black-being-in-the-world disappear and leave Malcolm with few
alternatives to this new reality. As the Autobiography moves
forward, Malcolm's experience becomes defined by the phenomenology
that these overlapping narratives construct. During certain moments
of this phenomenology, the negative aspects of anti-black racism
seem to impose very specific challenges to Malcolm's
lived-experience that become difficult to overcome and in others,
powerful alternative meanings for black-being-in-the-world are
taken-up and successfully employed to address the consequences of
this type of racism. Though the fact of anti-black racism is never
actually defeated, Malcolm's relationship to this process is
drastically transformed over the course of his reflection.
