"The Black Book: The True Political Philosophy of Malcolm X" Yussuf Naim Kly (1986)
This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the political thought of the great African-American Muslim martyr, MALCOLM X. It is the first to illustrate the influence of his islamic faith and his international experience upon his constantly developing political vision.
Dr. Yussuf Naim Kly is uniquely suited to edit and compile this book. As the former Chairman of the Canadian Branch of the OAAU (Organization for African-American Unity), the political organization founded by Malcolm X, Dr. Kly combines the scholarly education and international experience of a political scientist and specialist in international law with his own personal and instruction by Malcolm X, to produce an informative, easy-to-read analysis which epitomizes the political thought of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz.
He is presently Associate Professor of International Law at a major Canadian University
