Black Against Empire is a robust, exhaustive study of the people, politics, and fall of the Black Panther Party in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Far from a piece of propaganda, Black Against Empire aspires to trace the party's history and, importantly, the distinctions between the Black Power Movement and the less radical Civil Rights Movement.

Unlike many memoirs or narrowly-written histories of the party, Black Against Empire attempts to understand the party and its influence in the most comprehensive way possible.

Denna boken är exakt det man vill att en bok om svarta pantrarna ska vara. Peppig, imponerande, kontextuell, analyserande och problematiserande. Boom!
