THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X began in 1959 when journalist Alex Haley first met with the religious and political leader Malcolm X (n?e Little) regarding an article for Reader's Digest on the Nation of Islam (NOI). X, who had abandoned his surname in accordance with the Nation's beliefs, had risen to a prominent position beneath the group's head, Elijah Muhammad following incarceration. Cultivated to become a leader and recruiter by Muhammad, Malcolm X established himself independently as a powerful activist, leading Haley to interview him again for Playboy in 1962. The 1962 interview inspired Doubleday to request that Haley publish an entire book on Malcolm X. He broached X in 1963 and, after surmounting some reservations about Haley's identity as a middle-class Christian who tenured in the U.S. military, X agreed to the autobiography with the permission of Elijah Muhammad. Haley would spend the next two years interviewing Malcolm X, compiling, chronicling, and annotating the history of his life. As they wrote, X's beliefs changed; a pilgrimage to Mecca increased X's disillusionment with the NOI and Elijah Muhammad. He began to distance himself before officially breaking ties with the NOI in 1964 and converting to Sunni Islam. This rift caused difficulty in the narrative structure of the novel, which X fought with Haley over his desire to control. Malcolm X would never get the chance, as he was assassinated in early 1965. The book was published posthumously, with Haley acting as a co-collaborator to finish it, and remains a primary source in revolutionary history. It is told as a spiritual conversion narrative that outlines the tenants that X taught of Black power, Black pride, Black nationalism, and Pan-Africanism. This first edition, first printing of THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X is the original manuscript completed by Haley, including an epilogue containing his comments about Malcolm X: the humanist he was, the martyr and icon that he is. 1398624.
