Malcolm X: The Great Photographs
Pub: Stewart, Tabori & Chang
This pictorial chronology of the life and work of Malcolm X spans the years from the 1919 marriage of his parents to 1966
sentencing of three men convicted of his murder. It is virtually impossible to capture the life and legacy of such a resplendent
and mystifying individual in any one book, but this beautiful volume attempts to do just that and does it well. In the text,
novelist Davis ( 1959 , Grove Weidenfeld, 1992 ), doesn't merely retell the story of Malcolm's life but tries to describe
how phenomenal the man himself was. A picture speaks a thousand words, and this compilation of photographs from such noted
photographers as Gordon Parks and Henri Cartier-Bresson speaks volumes about this man whose "face has become an omnipresent
icon, a silent image attracting people." Davis's in-depth captions provide background and surrounding stories, although
there are no printed records available for some of the events photographed. For those who already admire Malcolm X, this celebratory
photo essay brings him to life; for those who still do not understand him, it will provide inspirational insights. Highly
recommended for all collections.--Library Journal
