Summary:

Malcolm X's searing memoir belongs on the small shelf of great autobiographies. The reasons are many: the blistering honesty with which he recounts his transformation from a bitter, self-destructive petty criminal into an articulate political activist, the continued relevance of his militant analysis of white racism, and his emphasis on self-respect and self-help for African Americans. And there's the vividness with which he depicts black popular culture--try as he might to criticize those lindy hops at Boston's Roseland dance hall from the perspective of his Muslim faith, he can't help but make them sound pretty wonderful. These are but a few examples. The Autobiography of Malcolm X limns an archetypal journey from ignorance and despair to knowledge and spiritual awakening. When Malcolm tells coauthor Alex Haley, "People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book," he voices the central belief underpinning every attempt to set down a personal story as an example for others. Although many believe his ethic was directly opposed to Martin Luther King Jr.'s during the civil rights struggle of the '60s, the two were not so different. Malcolm may have displayed a most un-Christian distaste for loving his enemies, but he understood with King that love of God and love of self are the necessary first steps on the road to freedom. --Wendy Smith

one of a kind!
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This is a book everyone should read. It's a book you can't seem to put down. There is a part of this book that i love.."I read aimlessly, until I learned to read selectively, with a purpose". This book changed the way i viewed certain things in life!

Max Notes: The Autobiography of Malcom X

I must have clicked on the wrong item, because I did NOT purposely order Max Notes. I already have two Master's Degrees and a year of Law School. So, I do not need "notes."

this are just notes, not the actual book
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1

it was not clear to me upfront: this book is not the acutal autobiography. These are the notes for the book. they summarize chapters and importance of them. so if you want to read the actual book, do not purchase this one.

wonderful transformation
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

People who would like everything to be all different in a society in which everybody operates in a mentality like John Lennon on heroin will be interested in many of the changes that Malcolm made in his own life. The characters that he encountered did not disappear entirely on Y2K, but our own image of things continues to shift and shuffle continuously and perhaps more so and faster from now on than ever before even without Malcolm to lead us.

Engrossing biography for all, regardless of race or religion

Before reading this book, I thought Malcolm X was a black boxer. I don't know why, but the few times I've heard people mention him, they've always focused on his anger. So, I naturally assumed that this man, who had such a strange last name, would be a fighter. How wrong was I.

Malcolm X was a fighter, but not in the physical sense. Sure, he supported his beliefs with a fervor that was almost violent, but he fought his way through his difficult life with words. He trained himself to make a point, regardless of what other people, black, white, red, yellow, would think of him. He so believed in his passion for basic Afro-American human rights that he was ready to die for his beliefs. As a Muslim, he also firmly believed in Allah, who he claimed changed his life. More importantly, as a Muslim, he experienced the oneness of humanity as he traveled internationally.

Overall, this book appealed to me because even though Malcolm was a devout Muslim and a civil rights leader with firm views, he was sincere in his concern for humanity. He even admitted, that he's "a human, being first and foremost" and that he's for "whatever benefits humanity as a whole." To me, Malcolm's extraordinary accomplishments were just a shadow of what can be done if mankind put concerns of humanity before itself. Picture a world where everyone worked toward a common goal. Imagine all the wars that would end!!

I recommend this book to people of all races and color so that they can be inspired by Malcolm's radical belief in humanity. His message transcends time and all racial boundaries.
