Malcolm X Speaks

Malcolm X Speaks contains the major late speeches of one of the most important leaders for
Black liberation and empowerment, who was also one of the great orators of our
time. 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 a
new introduction by National Book Award winner and bestselling author Ibram X.
Kendi, Malcolm X Speaks is an essential volume in the literature of
Black power.
