ISBN: 9781597142878
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
For forty years, Heyday has been publishing California's stories--from Native peoples to newly arrived immigrants, from the startlingly diverse Klamath Basin to the politically fraught California-Mexico border, from delicate Calliope hummingbirds to 14,000-foot summits. Kim Bancroft spent hundreds of hours interviewing founder Malcolm Margolin and a host of current and former staff, authors, board members, friends, and cultural leaders to tell the story of, as the San Francisco Chronicle put it, the "plucky Bay Area publisher [that] not only still stands but continues to innovate." A compelling portrait emerges of a deeply committed leader and the community and river of beauty that have nourished him. Brimming with humor, emotion, and purpose, The Heyday of Malcolm Margolin shows readers the intricacies of a small press with big ideas.

The Awakening of Malcolm X
Author: Ilyasah Shabazz
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR)
ISBN: 0374313318
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
The Awakening of Malcolm X is a powerful narrative account of the activist's adolescent years in jail, written by his daughter Ilyasah Shabazz along with 2019 Coretta Scott King-John Steptoe award-winning author, Tiffany D. Jackson. No one can be at peace until he has his freedom. In Charlestown Prison, Malcolm Little struggles with the weight of his past. Plagued by nightmares, Malcolm drifts through days, unsure of his future. Slowly, he befriends other prisoners and writes to his family. He reads all the books in the prison library, joins the debate team and the Nation of Islam. Malcolm grapples with race, politics, religion, and justice in the 1940s. And as his time in jail comes to an end, he begins to awaken -- emerging from prison more than just Malcolm Little: Now, he is Malcolm X. Here is an intimate look at Malcolm X's young adult years. While this book chronologically follows X: A Novel, it can be read as a stand-alone historical novel that invites larger discussions on black power, prison reform, and civil rights.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Author: Malcolm X
Publisher: Penguin Modern Classics
ISBN: 9780141185439
Category : African Americans
Languages : en
Pages : 512
Book Description
Malcolm X's blazing, legendary autobiography, completed shortly before his assassination in 1965, depicts a remarkable life: a child born into rage and despair, who turned to street-hustling and cocaine in the Harlem ghetto, followed by prison, where he converted to the Black Muslims and honed the energy and brilliance that made him one of the most important political figures of his time - and an icon in ours. It also charts the spiritual journey that took him beyond militancy, and led to his murder, a powerful story of transformation, redemption and betrayal. Vilified by his critics as an anti-white demagogue, Malcolm X gave a voice to unheard African-Americans, bringing them pride, hope and fearlessness, and remains an inspirational and controversial figure today.

Book Description
“Ilyasah Shabazz has written a compelling and lyrical coming-of-age story as well as a candid and heart-warming tribute to her parents. Growing Up X is destined to become a classic.” –SPIKE LEE February 21, 1965: Malcolm X is assassinated in Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom. June 23, 1997: After surviving for a remarkable twenty-two days, his widow, Betty Shabazz, dies of burns suffered in a fire. In the years between, their six daughters reach adulthood, forged by the memory of their parents’ love, the meaning of their cause, and the power of their faith. Now, at long last, one of them has recorded that tumultuous journey in an unforgettable memoir: Growing Up X. Born in 1962, Ilyasah was the middle child, a rambunctious livewire who fought for–and won–attention in an all-female household. She carried on the legacy of a renowned father and indomitable mother while navigating childhood and, along the way, learning to do the hustle. She was a different color from other kids at camp and yet, years later as a young woman, was not radical enough for her college classmates. Her story is, sbove all else, a tribute to a mother of almost unimaginable forbearance, a woman who, “from that day at the Audubon when she heard the shots and threw her body on [ours, never] stopped shielding her children.”
