Editorial Review:
These are the major speeches made by Malcolm X during the last tumultuous eight months of his life. In this short period of time, his vision for abolishing racial inequality in the United States underwent a vast transformation. Breaking from the Black Muslims, he moved away from the black militarism prevalent in his earlier years only to be shot down by an assassin's bullet.

Rating:  - THE TRUTH as told by malcolm
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. NO ONE HAS BROUGHT THE TRUTH LIKE MALCOLM HAS "EVER" IN THIS COUNTRY. JUST NOT HERE BUT HE SPREAD IT ABROAD AS NATIONALISM. ALL OF WHAT MALCOLM SPOKE OF AS FAR AS A RACIST AMERICA AND RACIST POLITICS ARE STILL HERE TODAY. YET THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER SLOWLY, BUT YET ALL OF WHAT MALCOLM HAS SPOKE AS FAR AS RACIST POLITICS ARE STILL HERE AND A PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH MALCOLMS SPEECHES WERE WRITTEN OVER 40 YEARS AGO YOU CAN SAY THAT THEY ARE ALL STILL VALID IN TODAYS 2007. YOU CAN ... Read More
Rating: - Essential
The strength of Malcolm X's vision bleeds through even the comparatively dull medium of paper print. Even if you can't watch the man speak now, you can feel the power of his words with this book. Best read after the biography of Malcolm X.
Rating: - Words that demand a closer look inside
Though I believe that Malcolm X was sometimes too angry to be wise, I love that he makes me care about myself, makes me question any absences of self-respect that I may have, not just as a Black person, but as an individual. His words make me ask the less obvious questions of myself, and of others; and they force me to face the things in myself that foster any illusions I have about the world I live in.
Rating: - one of the top most important books ever
While you'd be wise to approach this book with some background knowledge and context, no matter what you're background you have to feel the power of these speeches that still strike as strong today as anything you'll ever read and Malcolm's logic and sincerity hit hard. Don't think you know about what Malcolm stood for if you haven't truly read or heard and engaged his words.
I'd also highly recommend checking Breitman's The Last Year of Malcolm X along with if you have not already.
Rating:  - CORE READING
VERY VERY INTERESTING, I LOVE TO HEAR MALCOLM X'S THOUGHTS AND HIS WAYS OF SOLVING PROBLEMS WITHIN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. THIS IS A MUST READ, WE ALL NEED TO READ HIS SPEECHES AND OPEN ARE MINDS UP.
