Marable's definitive biography is now the standard by which scholars can evaluate, not just what Malcolm X said, but what generations of others have said about him., "[Marable] 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." , "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." , "[Marable] 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." , "While Marable himself is irreplaceable, he has provided a foundation for future generations and will continue to shape our understanding of social change and justice." , Manning Marable is the exemplary black scholar of radical democracy and black freedom in our time. His long-awaited magisterial book on Malcolm X is the definitive treatment of the greatest black radical voice and figure of the mid-twentieth century. Glory Hallelujah!, "This is history at its finest--written with passion and attention and drive. It is a fitting testament to the lives and the legacies of both subject and author.", "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." , 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., [Marable] devoted his magnificent career--more than most scholars do--to living what he wrote and what he thought.

That we will have his long-anticipated, great and final work even as he leaves us is so classically, tragically appropriate." , "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." , This book is not the only representation of Manning's brilliance... it is a culmination of a lifetime of scholarship and activism, a larger project devoted to telling the stories of a people engaged in an epic, painful and beautiful struggle for freedom., This superbly perceptive and resolutely honest book will long endure as a definitive treatment of Malcolm's life, if not of the actors complicit in his death., "Magisterial…Marable's biography is an exceedingly brave as well as a major intellectual accomplishment." , 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., "As Malcolm lived on through his best-selling autobiography, so will Marable, through his unmatched body of writing, his educational contributions, his illuminations on Malcolm X's legacy and his devoted students." , "Marable accomplishes the difficult task of showing the bad boy of the civil rights era as an actual human being . . .
