Malcolm X's Different Identities

This essay will discuss Malcolm X and the multiple identities that he had during his short life. Malcolm X managed to achieve a lot during his short life and for some, he will always be remembered as a hero fighting social injustices and to others, he will be remembered as a radical leader. In order to evaluate Malcolm’s different identities, I will look at his autobiography which was written together with the author Alex Haley. I want to take a look at Malcolm’s different identities and to see what led him to change his identity multiple times. In order to help me to evaluate Malcolm’s different identities, I will use Peter Burke and Jan Stets book, Identity Theory.
