A sketch of the politics of the film, as well as the life of the person, Malcolm X - and, by extension, the politics of Spike Lee's early cinema. In particular, I am concerned with how Lee continues his reflections on the meaning and possibilities for Black life outside the white gaze, formed between Black people and guided by the open horizon(s) of self-invention and reinvention. This sense of a politics of self-invention and reinvention is set alongside the persistent representations of sociogenic conditions of antiblackness. Lee is not content to point out systematic issues and remain at that level, concluding with that imperative alone. Like Malcolm X, he is also committed to the question of how to live political in the midst of systemic antiblackness and how to make meaningful, transformative life and lives outside the white gaze.
