Publisher's summary

The first comprehensive collection of writings by the Black Panther Party founder and revolutionary icon of the Black liberation era, The Huey P. Newton Reader combines now-classic texts ranging in topic from the formation of the Black Panthers, African Americans and armed self-defense, Eldridge Cleaver’s controversial expulsion from the Party, FBI infiltration of civil rights groups, the Vietnam War, and the burgeoning feminist movement with never-before-published writings from the Black Panther Party archives and Newton’s private collection, including articles on President Nixon, prison martyr George Jackson, Pan-Africanism, affirmative action, and the author’s only written account of his political exile in Cuba in the mid-1970s. 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 Mozambique President Samora Moises Machel among others.

Huey P Newton

highly informative, and dispells a lot of inaccuracies when it comes to the legacy of the Black Panther Party, he was not just some thug, he had keen intelect.

Prestige and Authenticity

I graduated Madison, Ct. 1969. Huey is the finest sample of the human organism.

I see this book icon each time I arch my back Huey.

A mandatory READ, Dr. Newton takes you to SCHOOL

This Book will be in my library until I earn it.
The narrator had Heuy's voice and cadence
Most memorable moments were when he explained the missteps of the PPP, apologized and talked about their lessons learned,, remedies and new directions going forward.

Huey lives!

Great chronological collection of HPN writings, speeches and interviews. You really got a good idea of his life and ideas with this book.
Huey understood the philosophy of the previous revolutionary authors and knew how to explain it and apply it.
We should never forget his name and work.

It Wasn’t Just About Carrying Guns

The true mission of the BPP was explained by the co founder. Huey P Newton was a highly cerebral man with plenty of vision. He explained the rise and fall of the party along with some of Huey’s philosophical debates on Social justice, political ideology and etc. Great read.

More in-depth piece of history of Huey P Newton

Let’s me start off by saying this is amazing read I own the book as well but the audiobook version is just as great. Very important piece of history and it takes many reads to fully digest this information 5/5 must read.
