Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-5-- This biography of Malcolm X vividly recounts the life of the fiery and outspoken leader of the Nation of Islam. Major factors that shaped his life, such as his difficult childhood, stint in prison, and conversion to Islam are presented, helping to add perspective to this man who has often been shrouded in controversy. Cwiklik portrays Malcolm X as an intelligent and articulate spokesperson, whose philosophy and outlook on civil rights were at odds with mainstream forces, as well as with his own group at times. Background pages on Islam and Marcus Garvey supplement and enrich the text. Good-quality, black-and-white and full-color photographs appear on almost every page. A well-organized, objective book with an attractive, open format. --Jeanette Lambert, LaVega School, Waco, TX
