**WINNER OF PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY** **WINNER OF THE NATIONAL
BOOK AWARD (Nonfiction)** Shortlisted for the HWA Non-Fiction Crown
Award Finalist, LA Times Book Prize A landmark biography of one of
the twentieth century's most compelling figures, rewriting much of
the known narrative. Les Payne, the renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning
investigative journalist, embarked in 1990 on a nearly
thirty-year-long quest to interview anyone he could find who had
actually known Malcolm X - including siblings, classmates, friends,
cellmates, FBI moles and cops, and political leaders around the
world. His goal was ambitious: to transform what would become
hundreds of hours of interviews into a portrait that would separate
fact from fiction. The result is this magisterial work that
conjures a never-before-seen world of its protagonist, whose title
is inspired by a phrase Malcolm X used when he saw his followers
stir with purpose to overcome the obstacles of racism. Setting his
life not only within the political struggles of his day but also
against the larger backdrop of American history, this remarkable
masterpiece traces his path from street criminal to devoted
moralist and revolutionary. An author who saw Malcolm X speak and
could not stand the phrase 'we may never know', Payne writes
cinematically from start to finish and delivers extraordinary
revelations - from a hair-raising scene of Malcolm's clandestine
meeting with the KKK, to a minute-by-minute account of his murder
in Harlem in 1965, in which he makes the case for the complicity of
the American government. Introduced by Payne's daughter and primary
researcher, Tamara Payne, who, following her father's death,
heroically completed the biography, The Dead Are Arising is a
penetrating and riveting work that affirms the centrality of
Malcolm X to the African American freedom struggle and the story of
the twentieth century.
