Introduction to The Autobiography of Malcolm X MSE
Welcome to the Multimedia Study Environment (MSE) of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, which was produced by the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL) in collaboration with Columbia University's Center for Contemporary Black History (CCBH).
As the most popular and accessible primary text on Malcolm X, The Autobiography has been both an aid and an impediment to would-be biographers. On the one hand, Malcolm X&#;s autobiography represents his own personal account of his life story as told to Alex Haley. On the other hand, it contains notable silences on the part of both Malcolm X and Haley that fail to reconcile the inconsistencies, errors of fact, and other problems that are inevitably part of any autobiography. Thus, in order to provide an exhaustive biographical study of Malcolm X, the MSE allows users to reexamine and reconstruct Malcolm X&#;s Autobiography by connecting his narrative to critical annotations and a digital archive of multimedia primary source materials.

Book Synopsis
ONE OF TIME'S TEN MOST IMPORTANT NONFICTION BOOKS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURYIn the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in , 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. F. Stone
