It was a good book still.

 

[Yup]

It's the autobiography of now deceased Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver. It details his time in prison and the inner turmoil he faced throughout his life (Even when he was apart of the Panthers). It's a really good read, but be prepared to be shocked and offended by his thoughts and actions.

Let me guess he was raping black women?

 

[Yup]

I enjoyed "the color purple", "beloved" and "americanah"

 

[Yup]

I want to read about the autobiography of Malcolm X

It wasn't just Black women. I recommend reading the book to know more. It really is a great read.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X
How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, by Walter Rodney
The Destruction of Black Civilization, by Chancellor Williams
Countering The Conspiracy To Destroy Black Boys, by Jawanza Kunjufu
Black Labor, White Wealth, by Claud Anderson
Dirty Little Secrets About Black History, Its Heroes And Other Troublemakers, also by Claud Anderson

Those books are powerful. Excellent places to start.

This is may not be a go to book for most of you but read PIMP by Robert "Iceberg Slim" Beck AND the Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim. Both are excellent reads.

By Toni Morrison, right? You should also read Jazz. It's about life in Harlem in the 1920's. It's not that deep or whatever but it's a good read still

Finished Fanon's book. Feel like the end was disappointing to I agree with the conclusion.
I'm reading a book on psychoanalysis at the moment because I've always been interested in Freud and Lacan's work.
