why we recorded it

Malcolm X’s work as an activist forever changed the course of the civil rights movement in the United States. This audiobook explores the profound impact of this revolutionary leader’s ideas. These texts represent the final months of Malcolm’s life, a pivotal period of intense activity key to understanding his legacy. In speeches to thousands of people, Malcolm X sought to inspire the courage to fight for emancipation and rights in the masses. Translated into the Portuguese by Marilene Felinto and Rogério Galindo, his words come to us in the voice of Roberta Estrela D’Alva, as they were originally delivered: as speeches. In them, Malcolm X’s discursive power, his ingenuity in constructing images, and his skill in winning hearts and minds are evident. This audiobook is a partnership between Supersônica and Ubu Editora, the latter of which granted an exclusive license for publication with support from Bookwire.
