摘要

摘要：本文讨论了伊斯兰国家利用新闻作为工具来发展对美国黑人生活的批评，并提出了可行的替代方案。伊斯兰国的政治艺术家与他们的领导人伊利亚·穆罕默德有着相同的大迁徙生活道路，他们是该组织影响力的关键，支持伊斯兰国建立一个全国性的分销网站网络和坚定的会员资格，这帮助该组织发展壮大，并拥有超过20万的会员资格。通过关注国家世纪中期的出版物《穆罕默德演讲》及其对政治漫画的使用，本文探讨了艺术作为重新定位黑人地理思想和政治行动的一种手段。总的来说，这篇文章表明，20世纪60年代和70年代穆斯林组织的黑人媒体作为一个反公共机构发挥了重要作用，为黑人社区提供了分享经验的空间，并将他们当地的政治斗争与全球反殖民解放运动联系起来。

Let’s Build Our Own House: Political Art and the Making of Black and Muslim Worlds

Abstract:This essay discusses the Nation of Islam’s use of the press as an instrument to develop critiques of Black life in the United States and present viable alternatives. Political artists in the Nation of Islam, having shared the same Great Migration life paths as their leader Elijah Muhammad, were key in the organization’s reach, supporting the Nation of Islam in building a national network of distribution sites and a committed membership, which helped the organization to grow and claim membership of over two hundred thousand. By focusing on the Nation’s midcentury publication Muhammad Speaks and its use of political cartoons, this essay explores art as a means to reorient Black geographic thought and political action. Overall, this essay suggests that the Muslim-organized Black press of the 1960s and 1970s played an important role as a counterpublic institution, providing space for Black communities to share experiences and connect their local political struggles to global anticolonial liberation movements.

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
