Fidel and Malcolm: Memories of a Meeting, (Paperback)

In this slim yet significant volume, first published in 1993, Rosemari Mealy, along with contributors ElombeBrath, LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), Sarah E. Wright, and Bill Epton, compile the recollections of a number of persons who played important roles in this historic summit. They add to these their own perspectives--as historians, poets, journalists, and political activists-- on the two leaders and the revolutionary movements they spawned. The combined reflections, coupled with Malcolm's and Fidel's own writings about the encounter and rare photographs of the two men together, yield an authentic accounting of a remarkable meeting of the minds.
