Description
The Autobiography of Malcolm X, co-written by Malcolm X and journalist Alex Haley, is a powerful memoir that chronicles Malcolm X's journey from a troubled youth to one of the most influential African American leaders of the 20th century. Published in 1965, the book delves into Malcolm's early life of poverty and crime, his transformative experience in prison, his embrace of the Nation of Islam, and later his ideological evolution after his pilgrimage to Mecca.
The book provides a compelling exploration of race, identity, and social justice in America, offering an unflinching critique of systemic racism. It also reveals Malcolm's introspection and growth, making it both a historical document and a deeply personal narrative of self-discovery and resilience.
