- Description
- While in prison, Malcolm X read furiously after lights-out and changed his entire life trajectory. Naomi Alderman looks at his extraordinary capacity for learning. Prominent as a black nationalist, skilled orator and remarkable organiser in the black freedom struggle in mid-20th century America, Malcolm X was, above all, a learner - a thinker prepared to change his mind. He left hustling behind for a Spartan, ascetic existence, dedicated to the cause.
