Malcolm X, la liberacion de los negros, y el camino al poder obrero / Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power

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 a half of struggle, this book 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.
