Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention
Autor Manning Marableen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 mar 2012
'He was a country bumpkin who became a zoot-suited entertainer who became a petty criminal who became a self-taught intellectual ... In his revealing and prodigiously researched new biography, Marable vividly chronicles these many incarnations of Malcolm X, describing the "multiple masks" he donned over the years' Michiko Kakutani,The New York Times
'Explodes the myths that obscure the real man' Hugh Muir,Guardian
'By the end of the 1960s, Malcolm's disciples had elevated him to what Manning Marable calls "secular sainthood" ... But Marable resists the temptation of hagiography and fills in the gaps left by previous books. He gives us Malcolm in all his self-contradiction and self-doubt' Yo Zushi,New Statesman
'Lucid, hugely researched and surely definitive ... an extraordinary story' Dominic Sandbrook,Sunday Times
'Here at last is the meticulous portrait he deserves' Andrew Anthony,Observer

Recenzii
[A]
groundbreaking
piece
of
work.
...The
result
is
not
just
a
biography,
but
also
a
history
of
Muslims
in
America
and
a
sweeping
account
of
one
man's
transformation...
It
will
be
difficult
for
anyone
to
better
this
book.
...
a
work
of
art,
a
feast
that
combines
genres
skillfully:
biography,
true-crime,
political
commentary.
It
gives
us
Malcolm
X
in
full
gallop.
[L]ucid, hugely researched and surely definitive...an extraordinary story.
[A]n incredibly detailed account of Malcolm's life (and an investigation of his murder) and it is, of course, completely riveting....it is inevitably much more than a biography of one man... Marable is intensely and intimately sympathetic.
In the pantheon of black American protest figures only Martin Luther King occupies a more exalted position, but it is Malcolm X whose legend has the greater street credibility and aura of cool...Now, almost a half century [after his assassination], Malcolm has finally received the biography that his unique role in black culture demands...A meticulous, comprehensive, and fair-minded portrait.
Professor Manning Marable'sMalcolm X: A Life of Reinventionis encyclopaedic in its approach. The endnotes and bibliography indicate the staggering breadth and depth of scholarship underpinning this volume....Undoubtedly it will stand as a last lecture on the subject by one of America's most distinguished historians.
[A] wealth of detail, some of it new, some of it old stories confirmed...At the end of it all, Malcolm X remains Malcolm X, for good or ill, one of the most fascinating historical figures of the 20th Century...a labour of love...a courageous endeavour.
Malcolm's short life (he was slain at 39) makes a fascinating story...Mr Marable has scoured contemporary press clippings in America, Europe and Africa...and benefitted...from the recent release to the public of hundreds of Malcolm's letters, photographs and texts of speeches.
Marable gives us all the raw material for a harshly critical appraisal... Marable's is very far from the first biography of Malcolm, but it is undoubtedly the most penetrating and thoroughly researched. It clearly surpasses the best previous effort, Bruce Perry's 1991 study
By the end of the 1960s, Malcolm's disciples had elevated him to what Manning Marable, in this weighty biography, calls 'secular sainthood'; in death, his image was quickly refashioned to 'embody the very ideal of blackness for an entire generation'... But Marable... resists the temptation of hagiography and fills in the gaps left by previous books. Where the autobiography, carefully organised by the NOI-sceptic Haley, presents an idealised vision of a man's growth as a thinker, Marable gives us Malcolm in all his self-contradiction and self-doubt... By refusing to pin him down, he offers glimpses of the human being behind the legend.
Striking... Marable is intensely sympathetic but always conscious of the contradictions of his subject...the fulfilment of a life's work
From petty criminal to drug user to prisoner to minister to separatist to humanist to martyr. Marable, who worked for more than a decade on the book and died earlier this year, offers a more complete and unvarnished portrait of Malcolm X than the one found in his autobiography. The story remains inspiring
An exploration of the legendary life and provocative views of one of the most significant African-Americans in U.S. history, a work that separates fact from fiction and blends the heroic and tragic

Of the great figures in 20th-century American history perhaps none is more complex and controversial than Malcolm X. Marable's biography of Malcolm is a stunning achievement. Years in the making, this is the definitive biography of the legendary black activist.
