If there was any one man who articulated the anger, the struggle, and the beliefs of American Blacks in the sixties, that man was Malcolm X. His Autobiography is now an established classic of modern America, a book that expresses like none other the crucial truth about our violent times.

Review of 'The Autobiography of Malcolm X' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

malcolm has a phenomenal way with words, that much is obvious. this book is as autobiographical as they come, and it's clear to see how the way his childhood/adolescent experiences informed his politics and unwavering morals in his later years. he's a misogynist though.

also really appreciated alex haley's epilogue, very much needed, especially the fucking NoI meeting they had with elijah shitting on malcolm. very wtf moment. you can tell alex had a lot of respect for malcolm, this epilogue was a sort of like gone but never forgotten salute send off to a hero.
