Description
From hustling, drug addiction and armed violence in America's Negro ghettoes 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 preacher of race hatred; but to his direct audience, the oppressed American Negro, he brought hope and self-respect.
This autobiography 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 and to suffer a martyr's death.
