New Releases by MALCOLM X

Je suis pour la vérité, peu importe qui la dit. Je suis pour la justice, peu importe pour qui ou contre qui elle est rendue. Je suis un être humain avant tout et, en tant que tel, je suis pour quiconque et quoi que ce soit qui profite à l'humanité – dans son intégralité. À 39 ans, Malcolm X meurt assassiné par des membres de Nation of Islam, qui considèrent qu’ils les a trahis, peut-être aidés par le FBI. L’ancien enfant du Nebraska, victime du Ku Klux Klan dès ses premières années, passé par la délinquance et la prison, déploiera une pensée et une pratique d’abord inspirées par l’islam, puis connectant peu à peu le combat pour les droits afro-américains à ceux de tous les peuples opprimés et colonisés. Republiée pour la première fois depuis trente ans, voici l’autobiographie d’un des plus grands acteurs des luttes antiracistes.

Notable quotations from Malcolm X This pocketsized hardcover book contains nearly one hundred quotations from African-American Muslim minister and human rights activist, Malcolm X. "It''s freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody." -- Malcolm X, King Solomon Baptist Church, Detroit, Michigan, April 12, 1964

Os discursos aqui reunidos foram proclamados, com exceção de "Mensagem às bases", entre 1964 e 1965. Diferentemente dos grupos que pregavam a não violência, Malcolm X defendia uma resposta intransigente à injustiça da violência contra o negro. Mais do que ataque, tratava-se de autodefesa – de linchamentos, humilhações, precariedade, injustiça social. Seus discursos expõem a contradição que marca a história dos Estados Unidos: um país que se vende como a terra da democracia e das oportunidades, mas que praticou e pratica o racismo de forma estrutural e contumaz. O contexto de Malcolm, nos anos 1960, era de aberta segregação racial: pessoas negras não podiam votar e deviam ceder aos brancos seus assentos no transporte público. A Lei dos Direitos Civis, aprovada em 1964, enfrentava resistência violenta da elite branca e tinha pouco efeito na prática. Malcolm buscava despertar nas massas a coragem de lutar pelos seus direitos. Sua atuação foi violentamente interrompida pelo assassinato que o vitimou, aos 39 anos. Malcolm X fala é a prova de que seu legado está vivo e de que suas palavras continuam atuais e potentes. O volume inclui ainda entrevistas, cartas e um memorando escrito para a Organização da Unidade Africana.

"The Ballot or the Bullet" is the title of a public speech by human rights activist Malcolm X. In the speech, which was delivered on April 3, 1964, at Cory Methodist Church in Cleveland, Ohio, Malcolm X advised African Americans to judiciously exercise their right to vote, but he cautioned that if the government continued to prevent African Americans from attaining full equality, it might be necessary for them to take up arms. It was ranked 7th in the top 100 American speeches of the 20th century by 137 leading scholars of American public address. "It''s time for us to submerge our differences and realize that it is best for us to first see that we have the same problem, a common problem - a problem that will make you catch hell whether you''re a Baptist, or a Methodist, or a Muslim, or a nationalist. Whether you''re educated or illiterate, whether you live on the boulevard or in the alley, you''re going to catch hell just like I am." Malcolm X

« La jeune génération de blancs, de Noirs, de bruns, de toute autre couleur qui existe -- vous vivez à une époque de révolution, » dit Malcolm à des jeunes au Royaume-Uni en décembre 1964. « Quant à moi, je me joindrai à n'importe qui, je me fiche de votre couleur, du moment que vous voulez changer la condition misérable qui existe sur cette terre. » Quatre discours et un entretien donnés au Ghana, au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis dans les derniers mois de la vie de Malcolm.

Dans ce document inédit en français, Malcolm X revisite de façon militante l'histoire afro-américaine. Pas d'académisme ou de pose scientifique, le célèbre militant de la cause noire enflamme son auditoire dans un des derniers discours qu'il prononça avant d'être assassiné. La violence de l'esclavage et de la ségrégation, le travail d'aliénation de la domination raciale, le succès de l'anticolonialisme, autant de thèmes que Malcolm X aborde avec fougue. Malcolm X n'a ici qu'un seul but: rendre sa fierté à un peuple endormi par les boniments des maîtres. Que le réveil des Noirs américains sonne le glas des résidus de l'esclavage au sein des cœurs et des têtes, par tous les moyens nécessaires.

Malcolm X demeure l'un des plus célèbres militants noirs américains. Devenu l'un des chefs de file du mouvement des Black Muslims, il quitta celui-ci en 1964 pour créer une organisation non religieuse qu'il voulait plus politiquement engagée encore, l'Organisation de l'unité afro-américaine (OUA). Il avait découvert l'importance qu'il y avait à relier le mouvement noir américain à ceux qui ailleurs combattaient la même forme de racisme et d'oppression. À partir de cette période, les prises de position de Malcolm X, ses analyses et ses réflexions, peuvent évoluer très rapidement : ainsi en est-il de ses idées de former une nation noire séparée ou d'organiser le retour en Afrique. En avril 1964, il débute ses grandes tournées en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient, dans le but de préparer l'unité des Noirs et d'internationaliser leur lutte pour la liberté. Ce recueil retrace l'itinéraire politique de Malcolm X à partir de sa rupture d'avec les Black Muslims. Il éclaire l'évolution d'un homme profondément sensible, marqué par l'amère condition des siens, mais décidé à en finir - par tous les moyens - avec la ségrégation, la misère et le racisme.

Written from the basis of the Caribbean heritage they shared, the author discusses conversations with Malcolm X regarding internationalist vision, a trip to Mecca, travels throughout Africa, the Black expatriate community in London, and Malcolm''s Grenadian and Garveyite mother.

ONE OF TIME’S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and anti-integrationist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand America. Praise for The Autobiography of Malcolm X “Extraordinary . . . a brilliant, painful, important book.”—The New York Times “This book will have a permanent place in the literature of the Afro-American struggle.”—I.

"It''s impossible for a chicken to produce a duck egg.... The system in this country cannot produce freedom for an Afro-American. "Speeches and interviews from the last year of Malcolm''s life.

.Now in its sixth printing, this highly popular book on the great African-American Muslim illustrates the influence of his Islamic faith and his international experience upon his constantly expanding political vision. The first to present a comprehensive analysis that integrates the developing vision of the man, Malcolm X, with the man he became, El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, it provides an in-depth analysis of Malcolm''s directives on why the African-American struggle for national liberation and self-determination is necessary, how it should be carried on, and why it can succeed. "The Islamic force tends to act against nationalism as introduced by western European development and socialism as introduced in the development of the USSR and China. It is both anti-nationalist and anti-materialistic. All aspects of societal life are viewed as an integral part of the whole, the din, the one God. Thus all aspects of life in the state must be theoretically harmonized so as to achieve spiritual peace, happiness and total submission to the will of one God. Both the governing elite and masses are theoretically equalized by rules and principles from outside of society (the Qur''an and Sunnah)..." from The Black Book: The Political Philosophy of Malcolm X
