Such an awesome insightful book on Brother Malcolm. So much better and descriptive than Spike Lee's movie. I saw the movie prior to reading the book and was surprised to find out the roll in which his family paid to him becoming a Muslim.

One of the most significant elements of the book is how it portrays the evolution of Malcolm's views on race and identity. As he travels the world and learns more about Islam and other cultures, he begins to see the world in a different light and to question many of the assumptions and prejudices that have shaped his thinking.
This process of self-discovery and personal growth is one that many readers will be able to relate to, and it helps to make The Autobiography of Malcolm X a timeless and universal work.
In conclusion, it is a must-read for anyone interested in civil rights, American history, black men's struggles, white men's oppressive behavior, or personal development. It is a moving and inspiring story that offers valuable insights into the life and experiences of one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.

"I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits society as a whole."
born fighting for his place in a world which had already stacked the odds against him, and died doing so, too. i truly believe everyone should read malcolm x's story at least once in their life, if only because this book is one of the greatest examples of how someone can change and mature over the course of their life

I literally just closed the book, then rushed to give my review. Wow, is the first word that comes to mind. I feel ashamed as an African living in America that I waited so long to read this. I was one of those ignorant people who allowed the American school system to teach me about him. Well, that and the movie “Malcolm X” directed and co-written by Spike Lee.
I couldn’t put this book down. And while I read it, I listened along to Laurence Fishburne who narrated it. The minister’s words, with Fishburne’s voice, created a masterpiece.
Malcolm X began serving a prison sentence in 1946. While inside, he read everything possible and ended up educating himself. In prison is also where he converted to the Nation of Islam. Man, oh man, I wish that the holy city of Mecca would have taught him Islam instead.
I truly believe that Malcolm X was a sponge who was only attempting to soak up the truth. All he wanted to do was build an all black organization whose ultimate aim was to help create a society in which there could exist honest white-black brotherhood. Unfortunately, the Nation of Islam did him in. I learned plenty of things from this book, but one of them is this:
Put your trust in God, not man, because man can never be a god.
