The Huey P. Newton Reader

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.
