Product Description
From Library Journal
In a trend that could easily be described as Malcolmania, here is another book about the legendary leader, prophet, and teacher. While the book is heavily illustrated (it is in fact a tie-in to the PBS "American Experience" documentary on Malcolm that aired in January), this tome is more than just a photographic essay. Malcolm's story is interestingly told in a text chockfull of snippits: "In Their Own Words" from family, close friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and those Malcolm X influenced. Many of the photographs have been reproduced in other publications, but there are also less frequently published images of Malcolm at work and of the people he worked with. Seeing Malcolm in action in these photographs will be as powerful for the reader as reading his words. Even if you have bought other photo-essays like Thulani Davis's Malcolm X: The Great Photographs ( LJ 2/93), this would be a worthwhile purchase to round out any black studies collection. Recommended. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 9/15/93.

Rare photos and personal memories interweave to tell the story of Malcolm's youth, his world travels, his life within the Nation of Islam, and his assassination.

Byline correction,
By editorseye@mindspring.com (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Malcolm X (Hardcover)
I can't seem to find an address to which this information should be directed, so here it is: This title should be listed as 'Text by William Strickland, Oral Histories selected and edited by Cheryll Y. Greene' (that's me). That's the way the credits are listed on the front cover, title page, with the Library of Congress, etc. Please correct your search function to include this information. Sometimes people still look for the book using my name. Thank you. (I had to fill in the star rating above in order to send this to you. Please disregard.)

Many Perspectives on A Changing Man,
By A Customer
This review is from: Malcolm X (Hardcover)
Based on the acclaimed PBS documentary, this photographic biography of the controversial African American leader combines evocative photographs with poignant memories from friends, family members, admirers and a few critics. This multifaceted examination of the militant leader's turbulent life helped me understand his rage and power. If you read his autobiography, then you will find this book especially valuable. An excellent supplement to the documentary because it includes material that they had to exclude, due to time limitations, from the documentary.
