Topics
Barack Obama & America's New Multicultural Leadership: Making Diversity and Democracy Work
Marable explains how a young Illinois Senator became the first African American elected to the presidency. He analyzes the factors of race, ethnicity, religion and class that are remaking America's politics, and outlines a strategy for making democratic institutions work more fairly and equitably in a multicultural diverse society.
Rediscovering Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention
Marable's soon-to-be-published comprehensive biography of Malcolm X presents surprising new details about this charismatic black leader's life and assassination. Marable presents a dynamic visionary who remains relevant and vital for understanding race in America today.
Living Black History: How Reimaging The African-American past Can Remake America’s Racial Future
One of America's most important historians, Marable reveals the transformative power of the past and also explores the current fragility of our shared history. As examples, Marable points out the near-disappearance of assassinated NAACP Medgar Evers from our history books and the crass commercialization of Malcolm X. Too often the truths of our past are obscured by the myths created by corporations and politics. Marable calls on us to stand up and safeguard the legacies and heritage of those who came before us.
