ABOUT THE BOOK
"Definitive is a word we must use carefully when talking about biographies because it implies a degree of finality that research and new information may prove wrong.
That said, Les and Tamara Payne's The Dead are Arising is, for now, the definitive biography of Malcolm X.
The first question that arises when calling a biography definitive in the presence of an outstanding autobiography (Malcolm's own The Autobiography of Malcolm X, co-written with Alex Haley) and several other great biographies is how a new book can surpass the words of the person being discussed — and all its predecessors. The answer to that, in this case, is easy: The Dead Are Arising isn't only a biography of Malcom X, it is a book that contextualizes race in America prior to Malcolm's birth, takes an in-depth, nuanced, unflinching look at Malcolm's life, and then explores his death and its aftermath, all backed by 28 years of research."--NPR
