These are the major speeches made by Malcolm X during the last tumultuous eight months of his life. In this short period of time, his vision for abolishing racial inequality in the United States underwent a vast transformation. Beginning with his break from the Black Muslims, he moved increasingly away from the dogmas of black nationalism, separatism, and violent revolution as the only means to achieve freedom. Although he continued to believe that the African-American community must be committed to its own liberation, excluding all others not equally devoted to this goal, he had come to take a broader view of human rights, and to accept at least the possibility of alliances with other groups. As I.F. Stone wrote in his review, "In these pages on can begin to understand Malcolm X's power as a speaker and to see the political legacy he left his people in their struggle for full emancipation."
Malcolm X Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Malcolm X bol vplyvnou postavou amerického boja za práva černochov, známy svojou vášnivou rétorikou a neochvejnou obranou sebaurčenia. Jeho myšlienky, často kontroverzné, sa sústredili na rasové uvedomenie, náboženskú vieru a politickú organizáciu. Hoci je jeho odkaz predmetom neustálej debaty, jeho práca naďalej inšpiruje a provokuje k zamysleniu. Jeho dopad na hnutie za občianske práva a na chápanie rasovej spravodlivosti je nespochybniteľný.
This collection features significant speeches that highlight Malcolm X's powerful rhetoric and impactful messages. Accompanied by a CD, readers can experience the intensity of his delivery firsthand with two of his renowned speeches. The book serves as both an educational resource and a tribute to his legacy, showcasing his eloquence and the historical context of his words.

ONE OF TIME’S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY In 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
