| Summary: | Malcolm X continues to have an impact on numerous antiracist struggles in the world. A British South Asian diaspora musical group, Fun^Da^Mental (FDM), not only samples Malcolm X but seems to echo his transformation by looking at the particularity of its situation in relation to the universality of struggles against dominance and hegemony. FDM integrates Malcolm X's words with Muslim devotionals from South Asia, hip-hop, and electronic music to signify transnational and interethnic solidarity. Ultimately, FDM is not only antiracist but interested in crafting a new British identity. |
