This thesis builds off of the premise that the Muslim community in America is in need of a dialectical shift that is uniquely Malcolmian in its content and considerations, as a means to solve a number of its political and Intellectual shortcomings that are a result of its social and ideological situatedness. I seek to encourage a reimagination of the Islamic tradition and its position in America through a considerate historical narrative, and a reinvigorated contemporary vision which centers Malcolm. In order to accomplish this this thesis is an effort to establish Malcolm as a school of thought, a tradition,as other intellectuals have done by their own efforts or the works of their successors. This is done through an identification of the traditions which informed Malcolm and which he represented. In this process it is not only an attempt to make a method of Malcolm, but it is to increase the legibility of the traditions he represented for the reader, while further imagining what a developed conversation between those traditions look like, as separate and as synthesized entities. In the case of this essay the traditions which Malcolm most saliently represented are the Islamic tradition and the black radical tradition. I make the case that Malcolm represents a highpoint in the confluence of both traditions, which I argue have always had a connectivity, from the black radical tradition’s outset. While I also state that no intelligent Islamic discourse, nor radical discourse can ignore this confluence. Lastly, I outline a number of the means and sources from which a contemporary Malcomian discourse can be derived, in order to authentically represent this confluence in adequate intellectual and practical terms.
