Through a life of passion and struggle, Malcolm X became one of the most influential figures of the 20th Century. In this riveting account, he tells of his journey from a prison cell to Mecca, describing his transition from hoodlum to Muslim minister. Here, the man who called himself "the angriest Black man in America" relates how his conversion to true Islam helped him confront his rage and recognize the brotherhood of all mankind.
An established classic of modern America, "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" was hailed by the New York Times as "Extraordinary. A brilliant, painful, important book." Still extraordinary, still important, this electrifying story has transformed Malcom X's life into his legacy. The strength of his words, the power of his ideas continue to resonate more than a generation after they first appeared.

Malcolm X é uma das figuras públicas mais controversas do Movimento dos Direitos Civis.

Sua autobiografia mostra o homem complexo que ele era. Nela, vemos sua transformação da ignorância e desespero para o conhecimento e o despertar espiritual.

Sua ênfase no princípio da autoconfiança e na defesa de seus direitos pode repercutir em todos, especialmente em tempos políticos e sociais turbulentos.
