Malcolm X: The Man and His Times

Rating:
Summary: Interesting
Review: I had to read this book when I was doing a paper for school and at first I thought that this was boring but as I got into the book the life of Malcolm X was very intregueing. I enjoyed learning about this facinating man. Read ths book-it is very good.

Summary: Everything is a conspiracy...
Review: It doesn't take very long to understand this person's view of the world: everything is a conspiracy against the black man. Just read a few of his speeches in this book, just his view on the most simplistic things, such as anthropolgical terms of race classifications, that they are designed to promote whitey, and you'll realize this book is not very objective. This book dares to call Malcolm X the most pivotal figure in Afro-American history. Carver who? Booker T. Washington who? MLK who?! No, no, no. Didn't you know that Malcolm X--the pro-violence, Islamic extremist--is your hero? Pathetic. Dangerous propaganda in the wrong hands. I am throwing my copy away; I won't resell it.
