Table of ContentsReviewsIn our messy situation where (whatever remains of) the radical Left is constantly sabotaging itself with its Politically Correct moralism, a Huey Newton reader is needed like daily bread: a remainder of a time half a century ago when incisive philosophical thinking was immediately linked to practical political engagement. Newton was a Communist who saw the struggle for decolonization as outdated, a materialist keeping an eye open for extrasensory perception... Our task is not to return to Newton but to repeat his gesture in today's predicament. The future of the American radical Left will be Newtonian--or there will be none! --Slavoj Zizek Author InformationBeginning with his founding of the Black Panther Party in 1966, Huey P.Newton (1941-1989) set the political stage for events that would quickly place him and the Panthers at the forefront of the African American liberation movement for the next twenty years. Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Geronimo Pratt all came to international prominence through Newton's groundbreaking political activism. Additionally, Newton served as the Party's chief intellectual engine, conversing with world leaders such as Yasser Arafat, Chinese Premier Chou Enlai, and Mozambican president Samora Moises Machel, among others.
