MALCOLM X –
A LIFE OF REINVENTION

BY MANNING MARABLE

www.athenaeum.nl

Constantly rewriting his own story, Malcolm X became a criminal, a minister, a leader, and eventually an icon, assassinated at the age
of 39. The details of his life have long since calcified into a familiar narrative: his early years as a vagabond in Boston and New
York, his conversion to Islam and subsequent rise to prominence as a militant advocate for black rights, his acrimonious split with the
Nation of Islam, and ultimately his violent death at their hands. Yet this story, told and retold to various ends by writers,
historians, and filmmakers, captures only a snapshot, a fraction of the man in full.

Manning Marable’s new biography is a stunning achievement, filled with new information and shocking revelations that will reframe the
way we understand his life and work. Malcolm X unfolds a sweeping story of the darkest days of racial unrest, from the rise of
the Ku Klux Klan to the struggles of the civil rights movement, examining his engagement with the Nation of Islam, and the romantic
relationships whose energy alternately drained him and pushed him to unimagined heights.

Malcolm X
will stand as the definitive work on one of the most iconic figures of the twentieth century, a man who constantly strove, in the great
American tradition, to remake himself anew.

Manning Marable is Professor of History and Political Science at Columbia University and director of the Institute for Research in
African-American Studies. He was the founding director of the Center for Contemporary Black History, established in 2002 and the
Institute for Research in African-American Studies, where he served from 1993 to 2003. Mr. Marable passed away April 1, 2011.
