To have encountered Malcolm X’s life is to be affected by his commitment to Justice—an effect that reverberates throughout one’s life. It’s so poignant an effect that one feels it over and over, always returning to those piercing questions put forward by Malcolm:

“Who taught you to hate yourself?”

“How can you thank a man for giving you what’s already yours?”

In the spirit of Malcolm’s piercing questions and Momdou Taal’s The Malcolm Effect Revisited (now available for pre-order), Momodou Taal, host of the The Malcolm Effect podcast and a British-Gambian PhD student at Cornell University joins Zubairu Wai, Associate Professor of Political Science and Global Development Studies at the University of Toronto, to reflect on topics ranging from African History, Black Internationalism, Gender, Islam, Marxism, Pan-Africanism, Political-Economy, Marxism, Race and much more.
