Notes From Your Bookseller

One the of most fascinating historical figures of the 20th century, Malcolm X seems often more a reflection of the politics of the viewer than the reality of the man. Les Payne's three decades of meticulous investigative research, however, have rectified this in a brilliantly singular, nuanced biography of an extraordinary, entirely human individual. With fresh insight and a grippingly narrative voice, The Dead Are Arising is truly masterful.
