Book Reviews of The Autobiography of Malcolm X (Penguin Modern Classics)
Book Review: His goals were just
Summary: 5 Stars
Brother Malcolm's life was one of struggle and learning and inspiration. His memory and the life he has lived since his death has been varied - Malcolm X is as much as vague idea as he was a man. He is too often forgotten or misremembered or manipulated. This is as true in death as it was in his life.
It was this life that he chooses to document here, in his own terms and without the mediation of a media on either side that wants to appropriate or demonize him depending on the agenda. He was a marvel and cut down too soon and an inspiration for all who want to work for a better world. His methods and ideas were sometimes imperfect but his goals were just.
The reader can see how his ideas evolved as he worked through and with the Nation of Islam and then as he struck out for a larger brotherhood. I want to leave this with word from Malcolm that inspired me: "I've had enough of someone else's propaganda; I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm a human being first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole." I feel that we should all work with such guidance, no matter what you call divine.
