Malcolm X: A Revolutionary Voice (Sterling Biographies)

By Beatrice Gormley

Book Overview

What is looked upon as an American dream for white people has long been an American nightmare for black people. Experience of that nightmare transformed Malcolm X into one of the most rousing Black Nationalist leaders. Beatrice Gormley captures Malcolm X's life: his youth as a petty criminal; jailhouse conversion to the Nation of Islam; marriage to Betty Shabazz; embrace of traditional Islam; and assassination.
