Welcome to Litsy!

First BINGO for this month. This book was written by Malcolm X‘s daughter with Tiffany D. Jackson. This was about Malcolm‘s early 20s when he was in jail. It also has flashbacks to his loving childhood. It showed the journey this icon had to go to set himself free.

This is a fictionalized account of Malcom X‘s time in prison during his early 20‘s. Dreams from his loving childhood and adventurous late teenage years are woven between the vivid descriptions of life inside prison. Shabazz has teamed up with Jackson to make her father‘s ideas accessible to a younger audience.

I enjoyed this book significantly more than Malcolm X's autobiography. The details about his time in prison and how the mistreatment of Black prisoners led him to explore the beliefs he would hold for the rest of his life were written like a story rather than just a presentation of facts, making this much easier to read.

Written by Malcolm X‘s third daughter, Ilyasah Shabazz who was joined by Tiffany D. Jackson, this book is a wonderful insight into Malcolm X‘s family background & his years in prison. A necessary read, & a good introduction to him for anyone looking to one day tackle his autobiography. This was my #DoubleSpin read.
