Title: Malcolm Before X Author: Patrick Parr Narrator: James Fouhey Format: mp3 Length: 12 hrs and 48 mins Release date: 04-29-25 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 1 rating Genres: Americas Publisher's Summary: In February 1946, when twenty-year-old Malcolm Little was sentenced to eight to ten years in a maximum-security prison, he was a petty criminal and street hustler in Boston. By the time he was paroled in August 1952, he had transformed into a voracious reader, joined the Black Muslims, and was poised to become Malcolm X, one of the most prominent and important intellectuals of the civil rights era. While scholars and commentators have exhaustively detailed, analyzed, and debated Malcolm X's post-prison life, they have not explored these six and a half transformative years in any depth.
