Critics Review
Once again Kehinde Andrews nails it! An explosive, inspirational, honest and powerful account of the real impact of Malcolm X’s mission. A must read for anyone serious about understanding and fighting for true revolutionary racial justice – Kalwant BhopalKehinde Andrews’ offers a provocative, insightful, and urgent reading of the revolutionary political thought of the Black working class hero of the 20th century. At turns angry, humorous, tendentious, and illuminating, this book gives no quarter in its search for Black liberation. Nobody Can Give You Freedom offers a bracing challenge to a new generation to reclaim the revolutionary legacy Malcolm X left behind in his time for the contemporary struggles for Black freedom that remain in our own – Peniel E. Joseph, author of The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.A bracingly radical and thorough re-examination of Malcolm X – Frankie BoyleKehinde has done a powerful thing with this book. Nobody Can Give You Freedom is important, honest and refreshing. It’s a must-read for people who want to understand how Malcolm X wanted us to change the world – John-Paul Kunrunmi, @jpreads6
