IRAAS Projects
- Malcolm X Project
- Since its inception 200, the Malcolm X Project at Columbia University has been concerned primarily with gathering and illuminating new research about El Hajj Malik el-Shabazz through two major initiatieves: 1) the construction of a robust, web-based, multimedia version of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and 2) the research and development of a biography of Malcolm X written by Dr. Manning Marable, the project's director and founding Director of The Institute for Research in African-American Studies. The first initiative was completed in June 2004 and has been used in a variety of black studies cources. The research for the biography, tentatively entitled Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, is ongoing. The book will be published by Viking/Penguin in 2009. Please read more by selecting the link above.
- Africana Criminal Justice Project
- was established to further develop and stimulate engagement (among academics, students, activists, and practitioners) with black intellectual production on the intersections connecting race, crime, and criminal justice systems. ACJP also supports initiatives seeking to address a response to the contemporary crisis of racialized criminal injustice, especially through the promotion of black civic capacity and leadership in communities impacted by mass criminalization and incarceration. These core objectives guide our research, education, and organizing initiatives. Please read more by selecting the link above.
