Description
A new edition of the classic collection of speeches given
between 1963 and 1965 by Black liberation champion Malcolm X, with an introduction
by National Book Award winner Ibram X. Kendi
Malcolm X Speaks collects the
major late speeches of one of the most important leaders of our time, a man who
was not only a champion of Black liberation and empowerment but also one of the
great orators of the twentieth century. This long-celebrated book of Malcolm X's
speeches documents his changing vision of racial equality and is a testament to
the enduring power of his words. For many years, Malcolm X resisted the
nonviolent and integrationist approaches of the mainstream civil rights
movement, emphasizing instead the separation of the white and Black races.
Beginning with his break from the Black Muslims, however, Malcolm X moved away
from philosophies of the Nation of Islam and began to take a broader view of
the potential for productive alliances with other groups in the battle for
liberation. Now reissued with an introduction by the author of How to Be an
Antiracist and Stamped from the Beginning Ibram X. Kendi, this edition
of Malcolm X Speaks is a more-essential-than-ever volume in the
literature of Black power.
