Inhaltsangabe

Elijah Muhammad-Original Man Know Thyself: A Pedagogy for Black Liberation introduces students to the works of Elijah Muhammad, a thought leader who championed the development of Black education and helped to raise the consciousness of Blacks in America between 1934 and 1975. The book examines Elijah Muhammad's works and accomplishments within the context of modern education.

 

The text begins with a biographical sketch of Elijah Muhammad and an exploration of how his life can provide a blueprint for liberation through education. Following these contextual introductions, the volume features nine selections, one of which comes from the Muhammad Speaks newspaper and the rest of which are from Elijah Muhammad's classic books, Message to the Blackman in America, How to Eat to Live, and Our Savior Has Arrived. In addition to its focus on education, the book demonstrates how the teachings of Elijah Muhammad have contributed to Africana/Black Studies. Discussion questions throughout stimulate critical thinking and challenge readers to apply the excerpted works to contemporary educational practice.

 

Drawing upon the past to inform the present, Elijah Muhammad-Original Man Know Thyself is an illuminating and valuable supplementary resource for courses and programs in education, Africana/Black Studies, and multicultural studies.
