Description
This ground-breaking narrative biography of one of the most influential Americans of all time is a perfect read-alike to Dr. Kendi’s other #1 New York Times Bestselling books - like How to Be an Antiracist and Stamped for Young Readers - as well as Steve Sheinkin’s most beloved titles. It will be published 100 years after Malcom’s birth and 60 years after his death. Written with a cleared-eyed, no-nonsense tone and unmatched empathy for both his subject and readers, Dr. Kendi weaves his anti-racist ideology into this propulsive telling of Malcolm X’s life - from birth to death. He provides context for both Malcolm’s choices - and those around him - not just painting an intimate picture of a famous figure, but of that time period in America. Readers will learn about the history of racism and Malcolm's journey to becoming an anti-racist in short, evocative chapters interspersed with black-and-white images of exclusive archival documents and photos from the Malcolm X Collection at the NYPL Schomburg Centre. This biography illustrates that Malcolm's true legacy is a journey toward anti-racism. And that just like history, Malcolm lives. Includes extensive backmatter.
