Malcolm X Visits Abroad (April 1964 - February 1965) illuminates
the life of the revolutionary Malcolm X, who became a very
controversial and influential figure during the civil rights
struggle in the United States. On February 21, 1965 the world was
shocked by his sudden assassination in New York. Although much is
known about Malcolm X, very little attention has been given to his
heavily impactful travels around the world. In the last two years
of his life, Malcolm travelled abroad many times, to Africa, the
Middle East and Europe, meeting with both presidents and political
activists. Malcolm X Visits Abroad, taken primarily from Malcolm's
travel notebooks, newspaper coverage, and first-hand interviews, is
the first publication to address this vital part of Malcolm's life.
His visits abroad were extremely important in shaping his own
outlook and defining his role in the world, and are crucial in
understanding the ever mysterious and intriguing Malcolm X.
