About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Malcolm X is a titanic figure in political history, but he is also one of the most misunderstood. So much of what we know about his life and politics is from books, films and documentaries that are all guilty of peddling the Malcolm myth for their own nefarious interests. Forever known as the violent Yin to Martin Luther King’s Yang, in the years since his death he has been co-opted into the American project, punished by his enemies for his radicalism, and marginalised by decades of governments, academics and activists.

But here, for the first time, Malcolm is rediscovered. On the centenary of his birthday, in a world shaken by decades of injustice and racism, Malcolm’s political mission is more urgent than ever. In Nobody Can Give You Freedom, Kehinde Andrews reveals his real revolutionary programme. Malcolm’s activism was his philosophy, and paying attention to it reveals the true cultural icon – who, if he were alive today, would tell us to pick up the mantle, and overturn this wicked system for good.

Excellent narrative and initial roadmap for social change. I read this book in one sitting which says a lot about how well put together this book is. It addresses many aspects of the late Malik Shabazz’s political and philosophical theories as well as new theories seen through his eyes by the author who embodies the spirit and thought of the revolutionary Malcom X.

Excellent well thought out book
