Brief Description:

A sweeping collection of the most vital and representative writings of the Black Panther party.



Biographical Note:

Philip S. Foner was one of the most prominent Marxist historians in the United States. A prolific author and editor, he tirelessly documented the lives of workers, African Americans, and political radicals. Shut out of academic employment for a quarter century because of his political affiliations, he nonetheless helped lay the basis for the explosion of scholarship in labor and black history during the past two decades.

Barbara Ransby is an historian, writer, and longtime political activist. Ransby has published dozens of articles and essays in popular and scholarly venues. She is most notably the author of an award-winning biography of civil rights activist Ella Baker, entitled Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement: A Radical Democratic Vision, (University of North Carolina, 2003). She serves on the editorial board of the London-based journal, Race and Class, and a number of non-profit civic and media organizations.



Marc Notes:

; 8; Here are Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, David Hilliard and Fred Hampton, along with Kathleen Cleaver and other Panther women. They tell of the party's court battles and acquittals; its positions on black separatism, the power structure, the police, violence and education; as well as songs, poems and political cartoons. This is the real story of The Black Panthers. The book provides a behind-the-scenes look at the Black Panther Party, without media or political input. Black Panthers Speak allows readers to judge the movement for themselves..



Review Quotes:


"Philip S. Foner was a national treasure -- scholar, activist and lover of justice."--Cornel West"The closest thing we're going to get to a rebuttal to [the] organized attempt to destroy the Panthers' legacy." --Ishmael Reed"Essential reading for those who would prefer to judge the Panther movement for themselves" -- Library Journal"The women's speeches and articles are notable for their concreteness and convincingness . . . especially [those of] Kathleen Cleaver." -- The Nation
