New Releases by Malcolm X

Je suis pour la vérité, peu importe qui la dit. Je suis pour la justice, peu importe pour qui ou contre qui elle est rendue. Je suis un être humain avant tout et, en tant que tel, je suis pour quiconque et quoi que ce soit qui profite à l''humanité – dans son intégralité. À 39 ans, Malcolm X meurt assassiné par des membres de Nation of Islam, qui considèrent qu’ils les a trahis, peut-être aidés par le FBI. L’ancien enfant du Nebraska, victime du Ku Klux Klan dès ses premières années, passé par la délinquance et la prison, déploiera une pensée et une pratique d’abord inspirées par l’islam, puis connectant peu à peu le combat pour les droits afro-américains à ceux de tous les peuples opprimés et colonisés. Republiée pour la première fois depuis trente ans, voici l’autobiographie d’un des plus grands acteurs des luttes antiracistes.

Notable quotations from Malcolm X This pocketsized hardcover book contains nearly one hundred quotations from African-American Muslim minister and human rights activist, Malcolm X. "It''s freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody." -- Malcolm X, King Solomon Baptist Church, Detroit, Michigan, April 12, 1964

Os discursos aqui reunidos foram proclamados, com exceção de "Mensagem às bases", entre 1964 e 1965. Diferentemente dos grupos que pregavam a não violência, Malcolm X defendia uma resposta intransigente à injustiça da violência contra o negro. Mais do que ataque, tratava-se de autodefesa – de linchamentos, humilhações, precariedade, injustiça social. Seus discursos expõem a contradição que marca a história dos Estados Unidos: um país que se vende como a terra da democracia e das oportunidades, mas que praticou e pratica o racismo de forma estrutural e contumaz. O contexto de Malcolm, nos anos 1960, era de aberta segregação racial: pessoas negras não podiam votar e deviam ceder aos brancos seus assentos no transporte público. A Lei dos Direitos Civis, aprovada em 1964, enfrentava resistência violenta da elite branca e tinha pouco efeito na prática. Malcolm buscava despertar nas massas a coragem de lutar pelos seus direitos. Sua atuação foi violentamente interrompida pelo assassinato que o vitimou, aos 39 anos. Malcolm X fala é a prova de que seu legado está vivo e de que suas palavras continuam atuais e potentes. O volume inclui ainda entrevistas, cartas e um memorando escrito para a Organização da Unidade Africana.

StarLogo Nova is an agent-based simulation and game programming application geared towards classroom learning. In many cases, StarLogo Nova can be an effective computational modeling tool, allowing students to apply their knowledge and gain a greater understanding of scientific concepts. However, there are many computational models that are difficult to implement in StarLogo Nova or cannot be implemented. This can be partly attributed to the fact that agents are the only programmable and customizable entity in StarLogo Nova and are limited to interactions with other agents. We expand the set of computational models possible within StarLogo Nova by adding new features and capabilities; namely an editable and programmable 3D environment for agents to interact with. We add the capability for users to program real-time interactions between agents and their environment. A dynamic and custom environment opens up the possibility for new computational models and simplifies the implementation of others.

"The Ballot or the Bullet" is the title of a public speech by human rights activist Malcolm X. In the speech, which was delivered on April 3, 1964, at Cory Methodist Church in Cleveland, Ohio, Malcolm X advised African Americans to judiciously exercise their right to vote, but he cautioned that if the government continued to prevent African Americans from attaining full equality, it might be necessary for them to take up arms. It was ranked 7th in the top 100 American speeches of the 20th century by 137 leading scholars of American public address. "It''s time for us to submerge our differences and realize that it is best for us to first see that we have the same problem, a common problem - a problem that will make you catch hell whether you''re a Baptist, or a Methodist, or a Muslim, or a nationalist. Whether you''re educated or illiterate, whether you live on the boulevard or in the alley, you''re going to catch hell just like I am." Malcolm X

By Any Means Necessary is one of Malcolm X''s most well known and remembered speeches. It entered the popular civil rights culture through a speech given by Malcolm X at the Organization of Afro-American Unity founding rally on June 28, 1964 in the last year of his life. It is generally considered to leave open all available tactics for the desired ends, including violence; however, the "necessary" qualifier adds a caveat-if violence is not necessary, then presumably, it should not be used. "We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary." Malcolm X, 1965

The Diary of Malcolm X is a transcended document. The editors, in their deliberations, careful annotations and commentary, have given us oxygen in the actual language of our brother and leader. The only question left is---- will we accept his daunting challenge.

« La jeune génération de blancs, de Noirs, de bruns, de toute autre couleur qui existe -- vous vivez à une époque de révolution, » dit Malcolm à des jeunes au Royaume-Uni en décembre 1964. « Quant à moi, je me joindrai à n''importe qui, je me fiche de votre couleur, du moment que vous voulez changer la condition misérable qui existe sur cette terre. » Quatre discours et un entretien donnés au Ghana, au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis dans les derniers mois de la vie de Malcolm.

La question des identités est aujourd''hui au coeur du débat public. La lettre d''Aimé Césaire à Maurice Thorez, par laquelle il démissionne du PCF, est un document exceptionnel. Il envisage le combat pour l''égalité en articulant la question sociale et l''identité. Le discours de Malcolm X offre un regard critique sur le pouvoir et les formes de domination aux différentes échelles de la mondialité.

Dans ce document inédit en français, Malcolm X revisite de façon militante l''histoire afro-américaine. Pas d''académisme ou de pose scientifique, le célèbre militant de la cause noire enflamme son auditoire dans un des derniers discours qu''il prononça avant d''être assassiné. La violence de l''esclavage et de la ségrégation, le travail d''aliénation de la domination raciale, le succès de l''anticolonialisme, autant de thèmes que Malcolm X aborde avec fougue. Malcolm X n''a ici qu''un seul but: rendre sa fierté à un peuple endormi par les boniments des maîtres. Que le réveil des Noirs américains sonne le glas des résidus de l''esclavage au sein des cœurs et des têtes, par tous les moyens nécessaires.
