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.

The biggest frustration here is that he never really explains deeply some of his positions - I'm thinking primarily here of his ideas about intercommunalism. I don't know if he just never wrote more articles answering questions on the topic or what but I didn't really get a good grip on what he's talking about, which is annoying because it seems to have been an important part of his later ideology. Overall the impression you get is of someone who is serious about working in the Marxist tradition (he rejects the term Marxist because of its connotations with dogmatic people who believe in re-runs of 1917) - he talks constantly about dialectics, he references Mao, Che, Marx, Lenin (both directly and through borrowed metaphors etc), he focuses on the economic dimension. He constantly criticises himself and previous party positions and comes across as highly honest and dedicated. I came away from the book impressed by a revolutionary hero. ( )
