The foundations for the explosive rise of the Black liberation struggle in the U.S. beginning in the mid-1950s were laid by the massive migration of Blacks from the rural South to cities and factories across the continent, drawn by capital's insatiable need for labor power¿and cannon fodder for its wars. Malcolm X emerged from this rising struggle as its outstanding single leader. He insisted that colossal movement was part of a worldwide revolutionary battle for human rights. A clash ¿between those who want freedom, justice, and equality and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation.¿ Drawing lessons from a century and half of struggle, this books helps us understand why it is the revolutionary conquest of power by the working class that will make possible the final battle for Black freedom¿and open the way to a world based not on exploitation, violence, and racism, but human solidarity. A socialist world. Includes four photo sections and over 130 photographs and drawings, author's introduction, index, glossary. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

“Will reward readers looking for little known aspects of Malcolm’s political views and the leadership place African-Americans have taken at the forefront of working-class and popular struggles from the Civil War to the present day. The inclusion of Barnes’ 1965 interview with Malcolm adds interest to the book, as does a collection of 130 pages of photos and drawings that illustrate the determined and combative face of the Black struggle.” [Annotation ©2010 Book News Inc.

Written by Jack Barnes, the national secretary of the Socialist Workers Party, Malcolm X Black Liberation & the Road to Workers Power is an
unabashedly pro-socialist treatise, discussing the past one hundred and
fifty years of exploitation of workers - especially black workers -
particularly from the mid-1950s onward, when black people were
disproportionately claimed as an under compensated industrial work
force and as cannon fodder for the America's wars. During this
tumultuous time, Malcolm X emerged as a leader who called for human
rights, justice, and equality. Malcolm X Black Liberation & the Road to
Workers Power searches for lessons from the past, and seeks to apply
those lessons to promote a future where socialism provides a framework
for reducing or eliminating exploitation, violence, and racism. A
powerful and persuasive political testimony, enhanced with black-andwhite
photographs, a glossary, and an index. "Everything new and

Malcolm X. La liberación de los negros y el camino al poder obrero.
(Malcolm X: The Liberation of Blacks and the Road to the Power of the Worker)
Barnes, Jack.
U.S.: Pathfinder Pr. 2010. 447p. ISBN 978-1-60488-024-3. pap. $20. HISTORY
Barnes, National Secretary of the U.S. Socialist Workers Party and a member
since 1963, was one of the last people to interview Malcolm X before his 1965
assassination. This hefty tome contains a rich miscellany of photographs,
articles, and reflections. Although the introductory essays, often presentations
Barnes has made at public meetings, deal with Malcolm X, this book spans
almost 100 years of labor history from the perspective of how the African
American question was viewed by thinkers and leaders like Trotsky and
organizations like the American Communist Party. Barnes paints a picture of
African American leaders and their struggles, vision, and impact, and he
includes recent reflections regarding the election of Barack Obama and how
this fits into the overall perceptions of African America from within and without
that community., specifically regarding rights and opportunities. Recommended for all public libraries
and bookstores for its general appeal and historic content.—Catherine Rendón, Savannah, GA
