Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton

adventurous challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

I think this is the first book I've read by a true radical, and it both fulfilled and evaded my expectations. Huey P. Newton's words challenged me. They presented the perspective of a Black man driven by love, pain, anger, and hope. He spat the law's own venom back at it and fearlessly paid the price.
Revolutionary Suicide is not entirely applicable in today's world. Still, it further affirms that we must remain rooted in community, humility, action, and the embodied knowledge of the oppressed to remake us. It also made reading sound like, really, really romantic.
