Malcolm X's searing memoir belongs on the small shelf of great autobiographies. The reasons are many: the blistering honesty with which he recounts his transformation from a bitter, selfdestructive petty criminal into an articulate political activist, the continued relevance of his militant analysis of white racism, and his emphasis on selfrespect and selfhelp for African Americans. And there's the vividness with which he depicts black popular culturetry as he might to criticize those lindy hops at Boston's Roseland dance hall from the perspective of his Muslim faith, he can't help but make them sound pretty wonderful. These are but a few examples. The Autobiography of Malcolm X limns an archetypal journey from ignorance and despair to knowledge and spiritual awakening. When Malcolm tells coauthor Alex Haley, 'People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by one book,' he voices the central belief underpinning every attempt to set down a personal story as an example for others. Although many believe his ethic was directly opposed to Martin Luther King Jr.'s during the civil rights struggle of the '60s, the two were not so different. Malcolm may have displayed a most unChristian distaste for loving his enemies, but he understood with King that love of God and love of self are the necessary first steps on the road to freedom.
