Mass market paperback. Condizione: Fair. xiv, [2], 460, [4] pages. Cover worn, torn, soiled, and has a piece at the fore-edge missing. Introduction by M. S. Handler. Epilogue by Alex Haley. Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little, later el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz; May 19, 1925February 21, 1965) was an African American revolutionary and Black nationalist leader who rose to become a prominent figure during the civil rights movement until his assassination in 1965. He discovered the religious organization the Nation of Islam while in prison and served as its spokesperson from 1952 until 1964. He was a vocal advocate for Black empowerment and the promotion of Islam within the African American community. Malcolm X is a celebrated figure with Blacks and Muslims worldwide. In 1963, Malcolm X began a collaboration with Alex Haley on his life story, The Autobiography of Malcolm X. He told Haley, "If I'm alive when this book comes out, it will be a miracle." Haley published it after the assassination. Alexander Murray Palmer Haley (August 11, 1921 February 10, 1992) was an American writer and the author of the 1976 book Roots: The Saga of an American Family. In the United States, the book and miniseries raised the public awareness of black American history and inspired a broad interest in genealogy and family history. Haley's first book was The Autobiography of Malcolm X, published in 1965, a collaboration through numerous lengthy interviews with Malcolm X. Derived from a Kirkus review: He was called Malcolm Little at birth; he was buried as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz; but he lived most of his life as Malcolm X and was the most rabid racist of his time while he ran counter to the movement which dominated it. As he said over the cups of coffee with cream he drank with Alex Haley (who took down this story and contributes a long epilogue), it "was the only thing I like integrated" His father was one of six out of seven boys who died violently (predominantly at white hands). Malcolm X never doubted for a minute that he would be assassinated, just as he was. His mother was committed to a state mental hospital"legal modern slavery." He was farmed out and by the time he was sixteen had been schooled to the hard fact that "everything in life is a hustle." "Sharp" by this time, he came to New York, to Harlem, where he steered white women to black men, stole, took cocaine, and learned the "cesspool morals of the white man from the best possible source, from his own women." Sent to prison at twenty one, he found Allah, the religion of Islam and Elijah Muhammad there. Once out, he became one of Muhammad's most militant disciples and seared his way across the national scene. Interestingly enough, it was after Muhammad "silenced" him, i.e, suspended him from the movement, that he went to the original Holy City and the Holy Land and became more aware of the possibility of white and black "oneness" Handler's introduction and Haley's personal commentary at the close present the "black panther" coiled to spring in somewhat softer focus although his intemperate hatred justified to some extent by the circumstances of his early life) and lashing zealotry fire the book from beginning to end. Particularly in its view of the rough underside of Harlem does the record have a revelatory as well as testamentary impact. An important one. First Paperback Edition [Stated].

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X began in 1959 when journalist Alex Haley first met with the religious and political leader Malcolm X (n?e Little) regarding an article for Reader's Digest on the Nation of Islam (NOI). X, who had abandoned his surname in accordance with the Nation's beliefs, had risen to a prominent position beneath the group's head, Elijah Muhammad following incarceration. Cultivated to become a leader and recruiter by Muhammad, Malcolm X established himself independently as a powerful activist, leading Haley to interview him again for Playboy in 1962. The 1962 interview inspired Doubleday to request that Haley publish an entire book on Malcolm X. He broached X in 1963 and, after surmounting some reservations about Haley's identity as a middle-class Christian who tenured in the U.S. military, X agreed to the autobiography with the permission of Elijah Muhammad. Haley would spend the next two years interviewing Malcolm X, compiling, chronicling, and annotating the history of his life. As they wrote, X's beliefs changed; a pilgrimage to Mecca increased X's disillusionment with the NOI and Elijah Muhammad. He began to distance himself before officially breaking ties with the NOI in 1964 and converting to Sunni Islam. This rift caused difficulty in the narrative structure of the novel, which X fought with Haley over his desire to control. Malcolm X would never get the chance, as he was assassinated in early 1965. The book was published posthumously, with Haley acting as a co-collaborator to finish it, and remains a primary source in revolutionary history. It is told as a spiritual conversion narrative that outlines the tenants that X taught of Black power, Black pride, Black nationalism, and Pan-Africanism. This first edition, first printing of THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X is the original manuscript completed by Haley, including an epilogue containing his comments about Malcolm X: the humanist he was, the martyr and icon that he is. 1398624.
