Audiobook: Nonfiction
Consider nonfiction audiobooks as a return to the time in your life when you absorbed a tremendous amount of information, more than you knew: when your elders taught you and when you were in school. Hearing rather than visualizing from text is a different and very effective way to learn history, biography, humor, theology, and many other topics. Professional readers, rather than lecturers, ease the process and increase the enjoyment.
Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention
Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention
Publishers Weekly wrote: "One of the United States' most renowned scholars of African-American history, Marable had been working for years on his mammoth revisionist biography of Malcolm X, fighting off illness before dying the week of the book's publication. His book offers a notably divergent perspective on the black nationalist leader from his own autobiography, co-written by Alex Haley, downplaying his criminal experiences and emphasizing his pattern of intellectual transformation. G. Valmont Thomas coolly summons the appropriate scholarly tone for this compelling portrait of a leader never entirely settled within himself. His low, sleek voice, composed and assured, is entirely apt for this adeptly written, copiously researched biography."
