Malcolm X
ONE OF TIME’S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURYIn the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America. Praise for The Autobiography of Malcolm X“Extraordinary . . . a brilliant, painful, important book.”—The New York Times“This book will have a permanent place in the literature of the Afro-American struggle.”—I. F. Stone

"HEAAATTT!!!!! Read this summer of 2022 and it got me out of a reading slump. I would say buy a copy instead of renting it because you'll want to annotate a lot. Also, I suggest reading this as well as MLK's where do we go from here, just to understand both perspectives within the civil rights movement."

"The general public knows so little about Malcom X, he is often portrayer as a villain of the civil rights movement. But in my eyes, especially after reading his autobiography, he is a honorable man who is not ashamed to accept when he was wrong, and makes a effort to change himself for the better. Even if it costed him his life. Great read."
