Growing Up X is an enlightening contribution to our understanding of the legacy of Malcolm X. Malcolm's main mission, as passed on to his daughter, was to empower black people and to empower his children. The picture painted here is a personal one that helps us to see Malcolm X and his family free from the typical media highlight of his so-called violent rhetoric. Ilyasah and his five other daughters were raised by a nurturing and strong mother, Betty Shabazz. Only Ilyasah Shabazz could have told this story, and however painful the memories, I congratulate her on the courage to remember, the courage to see, and the courage to say what she saw." MAYA ANGELOU "This is a warm and engaging book about how the family of Malcolm X survived and adapted after his assassination in 1965.
With each reading, the reader can safely say, I read of a life like this somewhere else. "Almost every book is a twice told story.
