5.0 out of 5 stars His Own Words, the Way he wanted them!, April 10, 2002

This review is from: Malcolm X Speaks: Selected Speeches and Statements (Hardcover)

This book of Malcolm X's Speeches was begun while Malcolm was alive with the publisher and the editor that Malcolm selected, and speeches he wanted in the book. This begins the series of books by Malcolm X published by Pathfinder Press in collaboration with his family as more speeches, interviews, and talks by Malcolm X have been discovered. The aim here is to put Malcolm X's words first. Read them for yourself. Find out why Malcolm was a reasoned, passionate, but uncompromising opponent of US imperialism's wars against oppressed peoples, in Africa, in Vietnam, in the Mid-East. Malcolm can really inspire you about the fights we need.

4.0 out of 5 stars a useful insight into the heart of the civil rights movement, April 7, 1999

By

This review is from: Malcolm X Speaks: Selected Speeches and Statements (Hardcover)

this book includes excellent speeches, although at some times, they tend to repeat themselves. Through his speeches, Malcolm X will be seen better than through any other book, in this literature lies the heart of a man who would not dare turn the other cheek.
