- Summary:
- This unique collection gathers reflections by scholars and activists that reconsider the historical impact of the Black Panther Party (BPP) -- the most significant revolutionary organization in the US in the later 20th century. The BPP gave organizational expression to a tendency in the revolutionary movement that long predated it -- the idea that the entire system is corrupt and needs to be reconstructed. These articles offer a fresh and realistic recounting of the Party's tumultuous history and its reverberations through modern politics. Counterbalancing hypercritical attacks and fawning glorifications, this anthology offers a more reasoned perspective and features previously silenced voices.
