註釋The foundations for the explosive rise of the Black liberation struggle in the US beginning in the mid-1950s were laid by the massive migration of Blacks from the rural South to cities and factories across the continent, drawn by capital's insatiable need for labor power--and cannon fodder for its wars. Malcolm X emerged from this rising struggle as its outstanding single leader. He insisted that colossal movement was part of a worldwide revolutionary battle for human rights. A clash "between those who want freedom, justice, and equality and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation." Drawing lessons from a century and a half of struggle, this book helps us understand why it is the revolutionary conquest of power by the working class that will make possible the final battle for Black freedom--and open the way to a world based not on exploitation, violence, and racism, but human solidarity. A socialist world. "Clearly written and easy to read....Each reader will grasp different threads that add to the continued interest and literature on Malcolm." --Journal of Third World Studies "This book examines the life and work of Malcolm X, placing his efforts to achieve black liberation into the context of a larger revolutionary struggle for socialism and analyzing current events in terms of their potential for black liberation." --Book News "A powerful and persuasive political testimony, enhanced with black-and-white photographs, a glossary, and an index." --Midwest Book Review "The book actually takes up the last year of Malcolm X's life, and how he became the face and the authentic voice of the coming American revolution." --Iran Book News Agency "This new book uses the last 'fifty weeks' of Malcolm X's life to anchor a trenchant socialist analysis of American class and race politics....People who are interested in the history of civil rights, political theory, or socialism will find it fascinating." --Foreword Reviews "Especially illuminating are the photographs within the book, which document the workers' movement world-wide. The photographs are accompanied by Barnes's captions, which serve to further emphasize the major themes of the book--that of the history of the global struggle of the proletariat for equality and dignity, and that of the political importance and evolution of Malcolm X." --Afro-Hispanic Review
