Description

The searing, visionary memoir of founding Black Panther Huey P. Newton, in a dazzling graphic package

Tracing the birth of a revolutionary, Huey P. Newton's famous and oft-quoted autobiography is as much a manifesto as a portrait of the inner circle of America's Black Panther Party. From Newton's impoverished childhood on the streets of Oakland to his adolescence and struggles with the system, from his role in the Black Panthers to his solitary confinement in the Alameda County Jail, Revolutionary Suicide is unrepentant and thought-provoking in its portrayal of inspired radicalism.

    Absolutely loved this book but more importantly the mindset of Black Panther Party founder Huey P. Newton. I was educated on existentialism through this book & through the recommendations by Huey P. & with these recommendations I was able to enlighten myself even more with some influential Marxist’s like Jean Paul Sartre , Søren Kierkegaard & many more through out humanity’s timeline.

    Radical book written by a criminal who committed crimes and thought he was punished unjustly. He admitted to Killing and burglary and got away with it. I simply didn’t like his ideas of entitlement for African-American and communist ideologies. I stopped reading halfway because of it.

    Reading Huey Newton's story through this lenses is like eating morsels of chocolate- sweet and rich. I have always adored Newton and the Panthers but have admittedly assumed he was a bad boy by nature. This memoir humanizes him and makes you think twice about the person society has painted him out to be.
