The Dead Are Arising - The Life of Malcolm X

I have always wanted to learn about Malcolm X and this excellent biography is the perfect starting place. It clearly sets out his life story neither hiding his flaws or over hyping his talents. Malcolm X, lifestory is a story of America trying to deal with its slaving past. In the last few years of his life, he correctly made the links between rampant Capitalism, class and racism against ethnic minorities was used as a salve to working class whites to distract them from the corruption of capitalism itself. Sadly both in America and my home country this tool is still being used.

A good book full of information concerning the brave and controversial activist

Thicker than I thought it would be, pictures can be misleading, A great read so far as it is in so much detail about his life, the lives of his family and what was happening in America at particular times.

If you think you knew Malcolm X be prepared to have your evaluations shaken to the core. The author 's grasp of the facts surrounding this tumultuous era are revelatory. A brilliant and informative read. Highly recommended.

This book is a wonderful read. Lots of information I never knew about the life of Malcolm X. This book had taken a long time to write and it was worth the wait. Want to know about black history this book will help!
