‘Dreams From My Father’:
Only Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me;
the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial
in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will. All the other stuff, the talk of blue-eyed devils and apocalypse, was
incidental to that program, I decided, religious baggage that Malcolm himself seemed to have safely abandoned toward
the end of his life. And yet, even as I imagined myself following Malcolm’s call, one line in the book stayed me. He
spoke of a wish he’d once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might
somehow be expunged. I knew that, for Malcolm, that wish would never be incidental. I knew as well that traveling
down the road to self-respect my own white blood would never recede into mere abstraction. I was left to wonder what
else I would be severing if and when I left my mother and my grandparents at some uncharted border.
