The Ideology of Malcolm X
12 font, Times New Roman, and one inch margins.
For this paper, I only want in-text citations for quotes in your paper. Everything else should be an endnote. Avoid lengthy quotes. I want to hear what YOU have to say. Your quotes should be no longer than 25 words.
You will need to use THREE out of class academic sources. This would include an academic book, an academic journal, or other academic material.
Write a research paper on a person or issue discussed in the course.
While reading the course materials and watching the lectures, keep in mind that as this course is a survey of how African-descended people from the United States addressed major issues of concern regarding important political and social issues.
While considering research topics, please keep in mind that this is NOT a history class. We are examining the authors’ discussions, thoughts and ideas about the major problems of their day. The information contained in the course materials can be used to help you understand how you should be thinking about your research topics.
While reading and watching the class materials, keep in mind the how race, social class, migration, social problems, leadership, and activism influence how the writers think about the issues of their day.
Also, consider how gender, spirituality/religion, culture (including, but not limited to literature, music, and fine arts), and national identity influence these perspectives.
While you read the texts, ask yourself the following questions:
How did the authors explore the social problems of their day?
What were their main arguments regarding the problems?
Who were the major players in the discussions of the problems?
What did they argue and why?
Are there critiques of the individual you are examining?
What are those critiques?
Do those critiques add to the conversation on the problems?
How does the author respond to the critiques?
Are there distinctions among the major discussants that are of particular import?
Are there any other influences that impacted reactions to the problem?
Are there any discussions or arguments regarding the problem that we can point to in today’s discussions, thoughts and ideas of problems of oppression and privilege?
