The Shelf: October Reading

This month, we turn our attention to history and politics.

Book Details:
Nobody Can Give You Freedom: The Political Life of Malcolm X by Kehinde Andrews (PublicAffairs). Using his speeches and some of his writings, Andrews takes a close examination of Malcolm X’s core political principles.

Why It Matters?
Beyond its historical context, this book, in light of the current political climate, gives us a chance to connect history to today. Although its a different time, some of the issues have been consistent and are still the same. What better way to learn how to move forward than by learning from one of America’s greatest intellectuals, Malcolm X?
