NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ONE OF TIME'S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
The "extraordinary" (The New York Times) autobiography of the legendary civil rights leader once called the most dangerous man in America-essential reading for anyone who wants to understand this nation's history
In the searing pages of this classic biography, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and activist, tells the remarkable story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement to veteran writer and journalist Alex Haley. Haley worked with Malcolm X for nearly two years; all the while, Malcolm did "not expect to live long enough to read this book in its finished form." As clear-eyed about his own fate as he was about the plight of his community, Malcolm saw his truth-telling as a gift that would live beyond his own mortality.
Raised in Lansing, Michigan, Malcolm Little journeyed on a road to fame as astonishing as it was unpredictable. Drifting from childhood poverty to petty crime, Malcolm found himself in jail. It was there that he encountered the teachings of the Black Muslim leader Elijah Muhammad. The newly renamed Malcolm X devoted himself body and soul to Islam, quickly becoming the Nation's foremost spokesman. When his conscience forced him to leave the group, Malcolm founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity to spread an inspiring message of pride, power, and self-determination across the country.
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. This commemorative edition, published on the 100th anniversary of Malcolm X's birth, is both a celebration of the lasting impact of his story and a chance to interrogate how far we've collectively come. In revisiting his incisive perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, we gain extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Wahnsinnig spannend geschrieben! Ein sehr lehrreiches Buch und ein spannendes Leben. Ich bin ein großer Malcolm X Fan geworden. Das Buch verweist auf viele weitere Persönlichkeiten, die ich bisher gar nicht kannte.

Ich entschloss mich zum Kauf des Buches "The Autobiography Of Malcolm X" aus mehreren Gründen.
Es sollte eine englischsprachiges Buch sein, keine fiktive Geschichte erzählen und mich gleichzeitig Unterhalten und Weiterbilden. Mit diesen hohen Ansprüchen bewaffnet begann ich zu lesen und war sofort sehr angetan.
Das Buch handelt vom kompletten Leben des afroamerikanischen Kultführers Malcolm X.
Aus der Sicht des Malcolm X (erste Person) wird hier Stück für Stück aufgearbeitet wie aus dem intelligenten, in einem rassengetrennten Amerika aufgewachsenen Malcolm Little einer der bedeutenden Führer der Nation Of Islam und damit der schwarzen Gegenbewegung zur Rassendiskriminierung wird.
Vor allem in der ersten Hälfte liest sich das Buch sehr spannend und eher wie eine Geschichte aus dem Ghetto.
Der junge Malcolm versucht sich mit für Schwarze damals üblichen Minijobs durchzuschlagen und gerät nach seinem Umzug nach New York auf die schiefe Bahn. Er wird kriminell und drogensüchtig bis er im Gefängnis landet.
Wie schon erwähnt liest sich dieser Teil sehr spannend und bringt einen gewissen Krimiflair zum Vorschein.
Alles in allem wurden meine Anforderungen erfüllt. Des Englischen sollte man durchaus mächtig sein, ein Interesse für Geschichte muss auch bestehen.
