Sinopsis
b Winner of the American Book Award. b This is the story of
Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Kathleen Cleaver, Fred Hampton,
Ericka Huggins, Angela Davis, George Jackson, Assata
Shakur, Bunchy Carter, Elaine Brown, George Murray,
Geronimo Pratt, and the Black Panthers who put their lives on
the line for revolution. This is the history of their struggle
against racism and American imperialism, how they built
power from below, the war waged against them by the U.S.
government, and the eventual unravelling of their
movement.Notice: The California Department of Corrections
has designated this book dangerous contraband. All CA
prisoners are prohibited from purchasing or reading this
book.In Oakland, California, in 1966, Bobby Seale and Huey
Newton armed themselves, began patrolling the police, and
promised to prevent police brutality. Unlike the Civil Rights
Movement that called for full citizenship rights for blacks within
the U.S., the Black Panther Party rejected the legitimacy of the
U.S. government and positioned itself as part of a global
struggle against American imperialism. In the face of intense
repression, the Party flourished, becoming the center of a
revolutionary movement with offices in 68 U.S. cities and
powerful allies around the world.Black against Empire cuts

through the mythology and obfuscation, revealing the political
dynamics that drove the explosive growth of this revolutionary
movement, and its bitter unraveling. Informed by twelve years
of meticulous archival research, as well as familiarity with most
of the former Party leadership and many rank-and-file
members, this book is the definitive history of one of the
greatest challenges ever posed to American state power. em
