Jonathan Blanks’s Reviews > The Autobiography of Malcolm X > Status Update

Of course, this is a re-read. I read the book for the first time around 1990, but am doing a book read with some interns for Black History Month.

If I were to rate the book for impact on my life, it would be 5 stars. If I were to rate it taking into account his more repugnant personal views it would be lower.

But the book, like many American works, is important despite the author's considerable flaws.
