"Extraordinary. A brilliant, painful, and important book."
From hustling, drug addiction and armed violence in America's black ghettos Malcolm X turned, in a dramatic prison conversion, to the puritanical fervour of the Black Muslims. As their spokesman he became identified in the white press as a terrifying teacher of race hatred; but to his direct audience, the oppressed American blacks, he brought hope and self-respect. This autobiography (written with Alex Haley) reveals his quick-witted integrity, usually obscured by batteries of frenzied headlines, and the fierce idealism which led him to reject both liberal hypocrisies and black racialism.
If there was any one man who articulated the anger, the struggle, and the beliefs of African Americans in the 1960s, that man was Malxolm X. His AUTOBIOGRAPHY is now an established classic of modern America, a book that expresses like none other the crucial truth about our times.
Through a life of passion and struggle, Malcolm X became one of the
most influential figures of the 20th Century. In this riveting
account, he tells of his journey from a prison cell to Mecca,
describing his transition from hoodlum to Muslim minister. Here,
the man who called himself "the angriest Black man in America"
relates how his conversion to true Islam helped him confront his
rage and recognize the brotherhood of all mankind.

Kennedy. Includes an audio download of Malcolm X delivering two of the speeches. With a new foreword by Peniel E. Joseph.
