Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention is a biography of Malcolm X written by American historian Manning Marable.[2] It won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for History.[3]
Pulitzer.org described this as "an exploration of the legendary life and provocative views of one of the most significant African-Americans in U.S. history, a work that separates fact from fiction and blends the heroic and tragic."[3] In the book, Marable concludes that Malcolm X exaggerated his early criminal career, and engaged in a homosexual relationship with a white businessman. He also concludes that some of the killers of Malcolm X are still alive and were never charged.[4]
