Here is a child who was a different color from other kids at camp and then, years later, a young woman not radical enough for her college classmates. Written with great warmth and simplicity–and featuring reminiscences of famous friends, colleagues, and acquaintances like Coretta Scott King, Muhammad Ali, and Spike Lee–Growing Up X is a fascinating, first-ever look at a family many have admired from afar. . and never seen so close.

Reviews"Almost every book is a twice told story. With each reading, the reader can safely say, I read of a life like this somewhere else. Growing Up X is a first told tale. 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. Ilyasah and his five other daughters were raised by a nurturing and strong mother, Betty Shabazz. 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. Malcolm's main mission, as passed on to his daughter, was to empower black people and to empower his children. Growing Up X is an enlightening contribution to our understanding of the legacy of Malcolm X. This eye-opening book is wonderful reading for all Americans." ALVIN F. POUSSAINT, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School "Ilyasah Shabazz has written a powerful book that is an inspiration to people of all ages and backgrounds. Her story of living a life burdened with such a powerful legacy touches the inner being of all of us who have endured and overcome the challenges and obstacles put in our path. Ilyasah's tale is a true testament to the power of the human will and, most important, to staying strong in the face of adversity." TERRIE M. WILLIAMS Founder, The Stay Strong Foundation President, The Terrie Williams Agency Author of The Personal Touch: What You Really Need to Succeed in Today's Fast-Paced Business World
