Colgate University Libraries News and Events

Professor Manning Marable was the founding director of Colgate's Africana & Latin American Studies program.  He died in April, 2011, just days before the release of his critically acclaimed biography Malcolm X:  A Life of Reinvention.
 
The book has been described by Wil Haygood in the Washington Post as going "... deeper and richer than a mere homage to Malcolm X. It is a work of art, a feast that combines genres skillfully: biography, true-crime, political commentary. It gives us Malcolm X in full gallop, a man who died for his belief in freedom, a man whom Marable calls the 'fountainhead' of the black power movement in America."
 
This and dozens of other works by Professor Marable are available at the Colgate University Libraries by searching the library catalog by author/Marable, Manning.
