Book Description

This unique psychobiographical study integrates a wide and subtle view of the history of white racism and the black liberation movement with a deep and sensitive understanding of the inner world of Malcolm X. Eugene Victor Wolfenstein is a critical social theorist and a practicing psychoanalyst who argues that racism must be analyzed within a personal as well as a political context. Drawing from The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Malcolm's published speeches, and a variety of historical materials, Wolfenstein interweaves Marxist and psychoanalytic concepts to examine the evolution of Malcolm's consciousness--from his youth through his successive incarnations as hustler, prisoner, black Muslim minister, and African-American revolutionary. Exploring the complex interplay of politics, economics, and the human psyche, this powerful work of critical social theory interprets the life history of Malcolm X and provides a cogent historical analysis of the black liberation movement in the United States.

5 out of 5 stars Racist False Consciousness Disguised as Democracy.......2006-12-03

This is an immensely important work. One I am embarrassed to admit has been in my library for more than a decade without having been read. And, had it not been for a reference to it in a speech by the British Psychologist, Robert M. Young (author of the magisterial "Mental Spaces,"), on the issue of Violence and Racism (given in Manitoba, Canada 13 January 1999), even today I might still not have cracked open the book.

My only excuse is that so much of the writings about Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has turned out to be disappointing idle hero-worshiping that it all has become one big rather meaningless blob -- and that includes the rendition by one of my intellectual heroes Michael Eric Dyson. To his credit though, in both the cases of King and Malcolm, Dyson at least tried to get the facts of their lives right.

Here, Wolfenstein has done so much more than just get the facts of Malcolm's life right. This is a full-bodied meta-theoretical analysis of Malcolm's life in the context of America's racist and capitalist culture and economy. And it is one done at a very high intellectual level and wielded with great skill even if it is at times a little intellectually brutal and rough around the edges.

In a deeply honest (rather than fawning) effort to get at the real meaning of Malcolm's life, Wolfenstein has produced a meta-theoretical masterpiece, one that arguably (were it not so politically radioactive (i.e. it has an avowedly socialist bent) and were it not such a raw intellectual expression), should have received a book award at least for inventiveness and creativity.

Wielding Freudian psychological analysis and Marxist political and economic analysis with equal facility and deftness, Wolfenstein has sidestepped much of the story-telling in order to put Malcolm's life experiences into a context of higher theoretical meaning, and might I add, to higher theoretical use.

Using Malcolm's life experiences as THE object lesson of what a racist society can do to one random black individual (and undoubtedly by extension to some extent has done to us all), Wolfenstein has woven together a tightly knit theoretical and social critique of America's racist culture. (It is absolutely scary how well he has done this.)

However, the purpose of this critique is not just to punch another hole into an already weak and crumbling capitalist/racist façade, it is to show where there still might be some light and hope at the end of this nightmarish tunnel and how to eventually find it. And it must be said in passing, that with only a few exceptions, this is a great deal more than most of our black intellectuals have done (and are doing). One of those exceptions, of course, is Professor Cornel West.

If one makes clear that by the "racially oppressed" Wolfenstein means both black and white races, then I believe he has correctly identified the real problem of a racist culture: How does it falsify the consciousness of the racially oppressed. And how do racially oppressed individuals free themselves from both falsification of their consciousness and the racist domination of their practical activity.

Using Malcolm's life experiences as an example (which during his early life, like that of many young black people, lurched from one dark pre-set societal trap to another), Wolfenstein shows us how to get behind the screen of false consciousness that a racist/capitalist culture creates and relies on to do most of its ideological and psychological dirty work. Only beyond this screen is there to be found a truer more authentic reality upon which a humanity of loving, caring, genuine brotherhood, and sharing can rest.

Wolfenstein, using the discrete events of Malcolm's life, demonstrates, beyond doubt, that it is the screen of false consciousness that aids and abets the capitalist project of commodifying our reality, distorting our worldview and thus greatly diminishing our humanity.

By bifurcating our culture into alienated racial and emotional groupings (Wolfenstein's more generalized idea of class), he shows rather graphically, how it is the false consciousness of capitalist exploitation that shapes our worldview -- from the intrapersonal all the way up to the level of culture. It is false consciousness that shapes and deforms individual characters, the psychology, ideology and the cultures of emotional groupings. It shapes our institutions and symbols of state, and causes so much alienation both between and within the various groupings.

The author illustrates how the false consciousness created by America's racist and capitalist social and economic system, commodifed Malcolm's mind and his reality, robbing him of any vestige of an authentic humanity and led him blindly, almost automatically down a path to violence, alienation, drug addiction, crime, exploitation of women, and ultimately to his own self-destruction. Only by getting outside the racist/capitalist paradigm into the Black Muslim religious sect was Malcolm able to partially recover from the damage done to his psyche.

In short, Wolfenstein shows, using Malcolm's life as a vivid object lesson, that it is also the false consciousness in our own lives that is the primary basis for deflecting and distorting our reality from its authentic basis. The authentic basis upon which most of us wish to rest our humanity is on a desire for human relationships based on true emotional feelings unmediated by racist psychology and ideology and that exploits, homogenizes, alienates, commodifies and then greatly diminishes our individual and collective humanity. But it is precisely the things in this list that American democracy does to each of us. And that is why, Wolfenstein considers us all: both black and white, its victims.

Although my own research tends more towards postmodern Freudian analysis of the likes of Otto Rank, Ernest Becker, Norman O. Brown, and especially Robert M. Young and Melanie Kline, Wolfenstein's analysis here using the old Freudian/Marxist model proves that even though it is still tricky, that there is much gold to still be mined from that model.

This is a very, very worthy effort Five stars.

5 out of 5 stars A Complex but Interesting Book.......2000-05-02

This is a very "wordy" book about a complex man, his life, politics, and beliefs. It is not a history per se of Malcolm X, nor is it a biography, rather it is a collection of ideas within ideas about Malcolm X and what made him tick. I must warn you though it is not as easy book to read, but it rates five stars in my opinion because it attempts to be analytical and non-judgemental about the man and his times. Not an easy task when you are writing about someone as famous as Malcolm X. This is a good book to supplement Alex Haley's book on Malcolm X as it looks deeper into the man and what he stood for. Well worth reading if you have the time and patience.

                5 out of 5 stars Down Home Southern Charm Done Up Right.......2003-06-14

                R. Scott Brunner, ocassional commentator on Public Radio in Mississippi and NPR's 'All Things Considered' has written this Southern-fried ditty of humor and warm reminiscenes. 'Due South: Dispatches from Down Home' offers insight on life, family, relationship in Southern culture and language. It's a collection of essays reflecting upon brunner's memoirs that inspires and gives wisdom. Brunner's observations of Southern life as he tells it in a way Southerners talk and live the Southern way.


                From the Southern disclaimer "Bless her heart' (Her hair may be blond, bless her heart, but her roots aren't) that became an art form. Culturally correct, a verbal kick in the pants masqueraded as a reassuring pat on the arm. It's fundamental influences of 'How to Rear a Southerner' (with apologies to William Faulkner-the multisyllabic wonder of language-Southern colloquialisms, home-grown, home-cooked food like fish fries, barbeque and cornbread with buttermilk and thriving on sweetea). Then there's customs and etiquette-dressing up for church, rocking chairs on the front porch, getting to know your next door neighbor, we all have an understanding that God, family, country and the nearest SEC football team are all sacred and worth fighting for. You're a true Southerner if you owned at least one Blackwood Brothers album and know who Vestal Goodman is.


                If 'Poo-poo Builds Character' in a southern soul then 'Home Cooking and World Peace' aren't too far behind. No pun intended. Who in the world would be so exotic as a Southern town? How would you like to live in a Mississippi town of Chunky? They'd call you a Chunky mayor or Chunky resident. That's a tough one. Add a few more unique names like Nitta Yuma, Pelahatchie, Hot Coffee and Bovina (where folks watch where they step). Southern romance nothin' like it anywhere else. The memories of a snuff-chewin', heavy sweatin' gal you loved when you were just five-years old. The sentiments are Southern smothered on every page from Southern Berlitz, Bible meetin's, sweet potato pie, fishing trips to Southern Provincial, the fox trot and Labor Day. 'Due South' is ful of charm and elegance with honest straightforward style. For the Southern fan a gift to cherish. Brunner reminds us about remembering the important things in life that makes us all different in our ways of tradition, history and culture. I tip my hat to a Southern masterpiece that belongs side Eudora Welty, Walker Percy, Flannery O'Connor and James T. Kennedy.

                5 out of 5 stars Quick, touching and funny read.......2003-01-19

                Mr. Brunner, a commentator on NPR, has collected some of his musings on the South and being Southern in this wonderful little book. I alternately laughed heartily and sniffled a bit. He has some touching moments, but mostly, if you are Southern, you will just relate. And I finally found out that NOBODY knows who Cooter Brown was.

                Mr. Brunner describes being a new father and wonders why mothers-in-law seem to get perverse amusement out of finding out just what has been deposited in a diaper. He also talks about his father's heart surgery, how his wife's grandmother makes little notes about what happened each day and has done so for years, a Leadership Jackson trip into the inner city and becoming the father of twins.

                Anyone who is from the South, lives in the South or is just a fan will appreciate this quick read.

                As a native of Jackson, MS I am especially fond of this book. Mr. Brunner has written a wonderful, funny book that I would recommend to anyone interested in southern humor.

                5 out of 5 stars Dispatches from the south I still miss after 27 years.......2002-06-22

                I picked up this book one day and decided to give it a read because of the Fannie Flagg blurb on the front. What a treat! R. Scott Brunner has pulled together a collection of southern life that brings out the best, the rediculous and the beloved...and a few things we try to keep hidden. From the 'Bless your heart' rule, to the neighbors who tried to befriend Eudora Welty, there is a bit of everyone you know and love in the words. Never pandering to what the popular belief of what a Southerner should be, he points out what there is to love (and to laugh about) around us, the sights and smells and foods and sounds and people all evoke a south I miss every day of my life. In all this he has also managed to include, or rather infuse the pieces with a gentle belief in the goodness of folks, and some inspiration gleened from everyday. A real charmer of a book.

                5 out of 5 stars Southern Comfort.......2001-01-13

                To read Due South is to close your eyes and smell the night- blooming Jasmine, to feel the tug at the end of your fishing line and to once again dream of holding your Mama's hand as you both sallied forth on a sweet, summer Sunday afternoon. I laughed and cried at Mr. Brunner's memories, because as a fellow Alabamian, I have many of the same long-ago dreams floating around in my mind. Please don't stop here, keep writing until every good rememberance is recorded for your children and mine. This book is, without doubt, the best Christmas gift I received. This man can WRITE.

                    1 out of 5 stars Fraser and 3rd season fans will probably enjoy it........1999-10-25

                    The reviews I read of this book were very misleading. The important facts about the book weren't pointed out. Like the fact this is a book for Fraser devotees and those who love the third season. I am neither. I don't watch S3 because I don't like it, and I'm not all *that* keen on Fraser. This book has more Stan than Ray, and while there are it seems, hundreds of pics of Fraser there are only a half dozen of Ray, and he's hardly mentioned. Stan is featured much more, as are the third season episodes. If I had seen this book in a store I wouldn't have bought it. But for what it is, the book should have been bigger in size, the contents seem to be squashed in. A big disappointment to a S1/2 fan like me, and an even bigger let down for a Ray fan. Only buy this if you truly buy everything DS or you love Fraser and Stan. And I would not recommend it to someone curious about the programme because it does not give a full picture. It's a big kick in the teeth for fans of the show before S3. A huge let down. I have to agree with the reviewer who said it was set out like a US Teen mag. I didn't like it at all, it was a big disappointment compared to what I was expecting. There should have been more Ray!!!! Giving it One Star is being very generous!

                    5 out of 5 stars It rocks.......1999-10-24

                    I think this is an ausome. It totally rocks and so the T.V. show.

                    1 out of 5 stars Tragically disappointing. In a word; PATHETIC.......1999-09-22

                    In all fairness to the producers, cast and crew of due South, this isn't their fault. This seems to have been a corporate scramble to cash in on dS, and I sympathize with everyone who worked so hard to make the show as marvelous, witty, cunning and intelligent as it is... as this book is not. There are a very pitifully few bright spots, like the recipe, and the photos. As noted by previous reviewers, the book has as little to do with due South as the movie Last of the Mohicans had to do with the book... without being even remotely as good. (I'm reminded of the "Slug" commercial on TV at the moment, where the suits are telling the ceo all about the products and tie ins, and tell him they can have a script for the movie by Friday.) Wait for it to come to your local library. If it never comes, you haven't missed anything.

                    2 out of 5 stars little more than an expensive fan magazine.......1999-08-25

                    I was disappointed in the book because I thought it would be objective, historical information about the cast, crew and production. I've read teeny bopper "Teen Beat" fan magazines w/ more credibility than this book. The pictures are nice but many of the captions have wrong information (such as what's going on in the episode at the time of the scene). As a prior reviewer states, most of the "essays" allegedly written by characters are actually "out of character", either using language or referring to events not used by those characters in the show. There is almost no historical information--such as a listing of episode titles and dates shown or information about the actors,writers, directors and/or producers who were the driving force behind this great show. All in all, it's useful only for the pictures.

                    2 out of 5 stars Very bubble gum teenie bopper style.......1999-07-19

                    The book didn't even mention the shows creator, Paul Haggis, his sister producer and writer Kathy Slevin or producer Jeff King. That's just incredible in my mind! It's got lots of great photos but aside from that, not much else. Also, most of the websites listed at the back have long since expired, of course that's expected with print material.
