Malcolm X

A Life of Reinvention
Book • 2011
This biography, written by Manning Marable, provides a detailed and nuanced portrayal of Malcolm X's life.

It draws on new research to trace his journey from a troubled youth to his conversion to Islam in prison, his rise within the Nation of Islam, and his eventual break with the organization.

The book delves into Malcolm's complex and evolving views on race, religion, and politics, and it includes startling new information and shocking revelations about his life.

Marable's work humanizes Malcolm X, presenting him as a multifaceted figure who was both a powerful advocate for social change and a flawed individual.

The book also explores the circumstances surrounding Malcolm's assassination and the ongoing impact of his legacy on American history.
