DESCRIPCIÓN:

Críticas The Dead Are Arising sets out to provide a much fuller picture of the life and death of Malcolm X, drawing on interviews with his friends and family to assess his contribution in the context of the times. The book is based on decades of painstaking research by Les Payne, who died before it was completed, and his daughter Tamara.... It is as much a history of US race relations as it is a biography of the black revolutionary.... The Dead Are Arising rightly sees Malcolm's split from the cult-like Nation of Islam as inevitable, given the organisation's reactionary political stances.--Kehinde Andrews "The Guardian"The Dead Are Arising. . . will become the definitive biography of Malcolm X.--Ray Winbush, director of the Institute for Urban Research at Morgan StateThe Dead Are Arising, a new biography of Malcolm X, is timely. But perhaps this sobering book's clearest message is that it will always be timely, because the story it narrates is timeless.... Les and Tamara Payne are especially good in detailing these early years of delinquency and rebirth. Like Robert Caro's life of Lyndon Johnson, The Dead Are Arising delves deeply into the wider context of Malcolm's world.... The book shows better than any previous biography the extent to which the NOI's outlook was rooted in Marcus Garvey's 'Back to Africa' movement of the 1920s.... Malcolm was uneasy about sitting down with white supremacists, but he'd been ordered to do so by 'the Messenger' Elijah Muhammad.... The encounter, covered in a riveting 63-page chapter that's based on a wealth of new evidence, is the Paynes' showstopper.--Andrew Preston "The Spectator"[The Dead Are Arising is] the most lyrical and complete biography of this uniquely brilliant American ever written. This book is a great read, full of original insights about an elusive figure rendered deeply human.--David Blight, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Frederick Douglass: Prophet of FreedomFascinating and essential.... [Payne] adds invaluably to our understanding of Malcolm's story.--Mark Whitaker "Washington Post"Malcolm's presence is beautifully rendered...Nobody has written a more poetic account...Payne also shows how enthralling it was to watch Malcolm improvise and argue. In this scene and others, we are exposed to Malcolm's teachings within the rhythm of Payne's masterly storytelling.--Michael P. Jeffries "New York Times Book Review"Masterful... The Dead Are Arising is a meticulously researched, compassionately rendered, and fiercely analytical examination of the radical revolutionary as a human being.--Kerri Greenidge "The Atlantic"Masterfully, [Payne] wove together the memories of friends, family, acquaintances, informants, and adversaries into a rich tapestry from which emerges the portrait of a complex individual working to make change in a society also full of contradictions. The book, which ultimately took more than three decades to produce, was completed after Payne's 2018 death by his daughter and primary researcher, Tamara Payne, who also contributed the book's introduction...[Payne's] meticulous recovery of Malcolm's youth adds a new dimension to Malcolm's less familiar 'origins story'....By giving a second life to a historical Malcolm, Les Payne's timely biography illustrates something really important. It reminds us that those making history often do so by having the courage and conviction to act in spite of their limitations; their legacy can survive and continue to inspire even the deconstruction of the myths we build around them or the ones they construct themselves.--Yohuru Williams "Boston Globe"Monumental and absorbing... peers into the gaps left by Malcolm X's autobiography, taking us more deeply into the intimate details of his life, work and death. In vivid detail, Payne retells the events leading up to Malcolm X's assassination, offering fresh information about those involved. The Dead Are Arising is essential reading.... captur[ing] the vibrant voice of a revolutionar
