ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Autobiography of Malcolm X," as told to Alex Haley, chronicles the life of Malcolm X, from his troubled childhood marked by racism and violence to his transformation into a prominent figure in the fight for civil rights. The book follows his journey through the criminal underworld, his embrace of the Nation of Islam, his subsequent disillusionment with the group and his spiritual awakening in Mecca. It explores the themes of identity, racism, self-education, and the search for truth. The narrative reveals how Malcolm's views evolved, from advocating for Black separatism to embracing a vision of human unity. It also touches on the internal conflicts and external threats he faced as a leader, presenting a complex portrait of a man deeply committed to justice.
