5.0 out of 5 stars Latch onto our history to fight for a real future, May 26, 2002
By Tony Thomas (SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
These lectures on African American history are not the kind that professors give in classrooms, they are what those who believe the whole of African American history leads to Democratic and Republican politicians, Black professionals, or Black capitalists. Malcolm history is something to be grasps as a tool in the struggle as a way to learn how to fight, as a means for a revolutionary transformation of American capitalist society, not to find a privileged place within it. These words are nearly 40 years old, but they show the way that all of the oppressed, not only African Americans, can latch onto our history to fight for a real future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Know your true history, July 20, 2002
By Carl Weinberg (Dahlonega, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This little book packs a powerful punch. Malcolm X explains clearly, and often in a humorous way, how knowing the truth about your history is necessary for building a movement to tear down racism and build a better society. The heart of the book is a speech that Malcolm gave less than a month before his death. His point is that Black people have to become aware of their true accomplishments in the past in order to change the world in the present and future. By looking at ancient African civilizations, West African kingdoms, the rise of imperialism and the history of slavery in America, Malcolm shows that Black people have played a huge role in shaping human history. Even though he spoke at a time when Black History Month was still Black History Week, his message is still totally relevant as African-Americans still face the challenge of leading a movement that can end police brutality, racist violence, political oppression and economic exploitation, while joining up with working people and the oppressed around the world. The impact of Malcolm's speech is magnified by his own explanation of how he studied Black history while in prison; and by a nice set of graphics and maps which illustrate his points.

5.0 out of 5 stars If Only This Were In The Schools, December 22, 2005
By Pearse O'Sullivan (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews
If only this were in the schools, especially for the teachers. Because although this is no proper textbook for history, it can be used as a guide into how to properly teach afro-american history to the youth.

Malcolm, as well read as he is, references many books as he lucidly and easily brings together many parts of history, but more importantly, a view of history. And his view of history is well-informed, well-sourced, and so full of truth it hurts to listen. But truth in history if very important, and Malcolm helps us in our studies.
