About this product

Product Information

Selected by The New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of the Year Years in the making-the definitive biography of the legendary black activist. Of the great figure in twentieth-century American history perhaps none is more complex and controversial than Malcolm X. Constantly rewriting his own story, he became a criminal, a minister, a leader, and an icon, all before being felled by assassins' bullets at age thirty-nine. Through his tireless work and countless speeches he empowered hundreds of thousands of black Americans to create better lives and stronger communities while establishing the template for the self-actualized, independent African American man. In death he became a broad symbol of both resistance and reconciliation for millions around the world. Manning Marable's new biography of Malcolm is a stunning achievement. Filled with new information and shocking revelations that go beyond the Autobiography, Malcolm X unfolds a sweeping story of race and class in America, from the rise of Marcus Garvey and the Ku Klux Klan to the struggles of the civil rights movement in the fifties and sixties. Reaching into Malcolm's troubled youth, it traces a path from his parents' activism through his own engagement with the Nation of Islam, charting his astronomical rise in the world of Black Nationalism and culminating in the never-before-told true story of his assassination. Malcolm X will stand as the definitive work on one of the most singular forces for social change, capturing with revelatory clarity a man who constantly strove, in the great American tradition, to remake himself anew.

Reviews

"It will be difficult for anyone to better this book. It goes deeper and richer than a mere homage to Malcolm X. It is a work of art, a feast that combines genres skillfully: biography, true-crime, political commentary. It gives us Malcolm X in full gallop, a man who died for his belief in freedom, a man whom Marable calls the ''fountainhead'' of the black power movement in America." - The Washington Post "In his revealing and prodigiously researched new biography, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention , Manning Marable - a professor at Columbia University and the director of its Center for Contemporary Black History, who died just last week - vividly chronicles these many incarnations of his subject. . . Mr. Marable artfully strips away the layers and layers of myth that have been lacquered onto his subject''s life - first by Malcolm himself in that famous memoir, and later by both supporters and opponents after his assassination in 1965 at the age of 39." -Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Unlike Bruce Perry''s 1991 biography, Malcolm , which entertained the most outlandish stories in an attempt to present a comprehensive portrait, Marable''s biography judiciously sifts fact from myth." - The Atlantic "Magisterial...Marable''s biography is an exceedingly brave as well as a major intellectual accomplishment." - Boston Globe "Marable has crafted an extraordinary portrait of a man and his time...A masterpiece." - San Francisco Chronicle "What, then, does this biography offer that is unavailable from the Autobiography? Quite a lot, as it turns out . . .It details the social and political context in which Malcolm lived, shedding light on the extraordinary power of the Ku Klux Klan during Malcolm''s childhood, describing the quasi-Islamic organizations that preceded the Nation of Islam, and explaining the beliefs and inner workings of the Nation and of the two organizations that Malcolm founded toward the end of his short life: the Islamic group Muslim Mosque, Inc., and the pan-African Organization for Afro-American Unity. (Malcolm''s political views and plans for the future were to have appeared in three chapters at the end of the Autobiography, which Haley cut before publication.)" - Christian Science Monitor "This book is a must read." - Ebony "Thankfully, we have Manning Marable''s new biography, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention - which is, simply put, a stunning achievement - to help us better understand Malcolm''s complex life." - The Philadelphia Tribune "The book also has much to recommend it for its history of orthodox Islam, the perspective it offers on the black political movements of the 1950s and 1960s that changed America, and its insights into the development and inner workings of the Nation of Islam." - The Financial Times "Manning Marable''s scholarship was as provocative and profound as it was prodigious." - Newsday "The Malcolm book stands as the greatest testament we could have to Manning Marable''s brilliance, his passion, and his intellectual fortitude. He devoted his magnificent career-more than most scholars do- to living what he wrote and what he thought. His commitment not only to equality of opportunity but also to the exposure of falsehood and hypocrisy was a hallmark of his pathbreaking work." - The Chronicle of Higher Education "Marable accomplishes the difficult task of showing the bad boy of the civil rights era as an actual human being . . . Each page almost secretes the formidable research into hard facts. Marable lets the chips fall where they may because he is interested in the humanity of Malcolm X, as all true scholars should be." - New York Daily News "The poet Robert Hayden once captured the essence of Malcolm X''s life in a paradox: ''He rose renewed renamed, became / much more than there was time for him to be.'' Nowhere is this more apparent than in Marable''s biography. This is history at its finest-written with passion and attention and drive.
