<\/div>\n

We speak with the co-author of a major new biography of Malcolm X, \u201cThe Dead Are Arising,\u201d which recently won the 2020 National Book Award for Nonfiction and offers a sweeping account of Malcolm X\u2019s life by weaving together hundreds of interviews with Malcolm X\u2019s family, friends, colleagues and enemies. The book is based on decades of research by Les Payne, who died in 2018, and finished by his daughter, Tamara Payne. \u201cThe reason why he admired Malcolm is because Malcolm was dealing with the conditions that Black people are facing even internally and how we viewed ourselves in this situation,\u201d she says, and describes how her father lived through the civil rights movement and strongly connected with Malcolm X\u2019s teachings.<\/p>\n
