Depuis sa mort, Malcolm X est devenu bien plus qu'un militant de la libération noire : son héritage et sa mémoire font l'objet de luttes acharnées. Prédicateur sectaire de la Nation of Islam, ou musulman orthodoxe converti à la tolérance, nationaliste noir ou révolutionnaire ouvert à toutes les alliances, ancien dealer, ex-prisonnier, partisan de l'autodéfense armée, dirigeant panafricain : dans les années, puis les décennies qui ont suivi sa mort, tout ou presque a été dit sur Malcolm X. Devenu une icône de la culture populaire africaine-américaine et plus largement de la culture populaire et révolutionnaire dans de nombreux pays, la vie et le parcours politique de Malcolm X restent paradoxalement très mal connus, principalement au travers de son autobiographie écrite dans des conditions très controversées. C'est ce vide que vient combler cette biographie de Malcolm X. Fruit d'années de recherches dans les archives du FBI, d'entretiens avec les innombrables personnages qui l'ont accompagné ou croisé, ce livre, écrit par un grand historien africain-américain, apporte un éclairage inédit sur les vies de Malcolm X, des rues de Harlem à sa mort brutale.
