Praise for Malcolm X:
“ 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.”
—The Washington Post
A new look at Malcolm X’s life and times
from his Pulitzer Prize–winning
biographer, Manning Marable
The Portable
Malcolm X Reader
Edited by Manning Marable and
Garrett Felber
Manning Marable’s Pulitzer Prize–winning biography, Malcolm
X: A Life of Reinvention, has already begun to reshape perceptions
of one of America’s great revolutionary thinkers. This volume,
the first collection of major documents addressing Malcolm X
in decades, features never-before-published material, including
articles from major newspapers and underground presses, oral
histories, police reports, and FBI files, to shine a brighter light on
Malcolm’s life and times. Conceived as both a companion to the
biography and a standalone volume, and assembled by Marable
and his key researcher, Garrett Felber, prior to Marable’s untimely
death, The Portable Malcolm X Reader presents an invaluable
portrait of Malcolm X.
