书籍介绍
这不是一本让人读得舒服的书,却是一本让人读完后无法假装无事发生的书。与马丁·路德·金并立的另一条黑人抗争路线,在这里被赤裸地摊开:不妥协、不好斗、甚至拒绝被简单归类。读者反复提及的,不是某个煽情高潮,而是作者近乎残酷的自我诚实——他如何从波士顿街头的
作者简介
Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little), also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, was an American Black Muslim minister and a spokesman for the Nation of Islam. After leaving the Nation of Islam in 1964, he made the pilgrimage, the Hajj, to Mecca and became a Sunni Muslim. He also founded the Muslim Mosque, Inc. and the Organization of Afro-American Unity. Less than a year later, he was assassinated in Washington Heights on the first day of National Brotherhood Week. Historian Robin D.G. Kelley wrote, "Malcolm X has been called many things: Pan-Africanist, father of Black Power, religious fanatic, closet conservative, incipient socialist, and a menace to society. The meaning of his public life — his politics and ideology — is contested in part because his entire body of work consists of a few dozen speeches and a collaborative autobiography whose veracity is challenged. Malcolm has become a sort of tabula rasa, or blank slate, on which people of different positions can write their own interpretations of his politics and legacy.

精彩摘录
  • "I had always been very careful to stay completely clear of any personal closeness with any of the Muslim sisters. My total commitment to Islam demanded having no other interests, especially, I felt, no women. In almost every temple at least one single sister had let out some broad hint that she thou"
  • "It was about ten in the morning when I got inside Detroit. Getting gas at a filling station, I just went to their pay phone on a wall; I telephoned Sister Betty X. I had to get Information to get the number of the nurses' residence at this hospital. Most numbers I memorized, but I had always made it"
  • ""I mean, you can't even say "Jew" without him accusing you of anti-Semitism.""
  • "My father was a big, six-foot-four, very black man. He had only one eye. How he had lost the other one I have never known. He was from Reynolds, Georgia, where he had left school after the third or maybe fourth grade. He believed, as did Marcus Garvey, that freedom, independence and self respect cou"
  • "Louise Little, my mother, who was born in Grenada, in the British West Indies, looked like a white woman. Her father was white. She had straight black hair, and her accent did not sound like a Negro's. Of this white father of hers, I know nothing except her shame about it. I remember hearing her say"
  • "My father was also belligerent toward all of the children, except me. The older ones he would beat almost savagely if they broke any of his rules-and he had so many rules it was hard to know them all. Nearly all my whippings came from my mother. I've thought a lot about why. I actually believe that "
  • "Thinking about it now, I feel definitely that just as my father favored me for being lighter than the other children, my mother  gave me more hell for the same reason. She was very light herself but she favored the ones who were darker. Wilfred, I know, was particularly her angel. I remember that s"
  • "I learned early that crying out in protest could accomplish things. My older brothers and sister had started to school when, sometimes, they would come in and ask for a buttered biscuit or something and my mother, impatiently, would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a fuss until I got what "
用户评论
断断续续当了一年的枕边书。关于X(人家后来有了个正经有根源感的名字)最值得注意的应该是他彻底诚实的态度。他的好斗、不妥协与致命的善变大概都应该在这种“忠于自我”之下来理解(所以不那么欣赏张承志的书评);也是因此他关于二战前后种族关系和Harlem一区的很多故事都有值得注意的地方。只不过我相当怀疑当他在麦加被当作一个黑人兄弟的时候,人家说不定是当他一个美国穆斯林。但不管如何,斯蒂芬金式的恐怖故事爱好者都该读读这本传记,它让你明白……发生在德里小镇的故事,被毒死的狗,被烧毁的舞厅,那都不是虚构的偶发事件。
通篇都是great, honoured, honest,humble, manhood...
这他妈 绝对是 我读过的最难读下去的 几本书 之一。。。
配合着youtube上的相关视屏资料看。house negro and field negro。麦加之行的思想冲击。分道扬镳。非暴力,但是要有暴力对抗的能力。黑人民权运动的内部龃龉。
One of my best reads. He’s the real black panther.
ela读的 感觉malcolmx还是挺牛逼的就说在监狱里读书那一部分 但太不尊重女性 某种意义上也是在助长除了种族以外的歧视吧
X 并不是一个完美无缺的人。我们当然可以批判说他没有建立完整的思想体系,对某些现象的认知存在偏见(典型如他对女性的看法,个人也不是不理解他为什么这么想),但我们无法否认,X 那份来自 Black Ghetto 的愤怒有一种直达心灵的震撼,那是来自地狱的呐喊。
了解历史,反思现状
高中看的 很喜欢
