This compact volume offers a compelling introduction to a group
once deemed the greatest threat to the internal security of the
United States, the Black Panther Party. In a time when African
Americans' widespread tactic of direct, nonviolent protest was seen
as the most effective way to fight for racial justice, the Black
Panthers' confrontational style and critiques of local law
enforcement throughout the nation defied both civil rights
orthodoxy and white authority. The Black Panther Party: A Guide to
an American Subculture situates the Black Panther Party within the
shifting political terrain of the African American freedom struggle
of the late 1960s and early 1970s. In an era when African Americans
were assumed to have secured their basic constitutional rights, the
Black Panther Party stood firm to remind black people and the
nation that despite the gains of the Civil Rights Movement, social,
economic, and political equality had not been achieved for large
segments of African Americans, and that more needed to be done
locally and nationally. Organized geographically, the book examines
Black Panther Party chapters and affiliates throughout the United
States. It covers the Panthers' most important developments and
challenges, paying particular attention to local realities as they
varied throughout the nation-from Oakland, California to New Haven,
Connecticut. Synthesizes the latest scholarship on the Black
Panther Party Explains topics clearly and in accessible language
Offers a compelling narrative that examines in depth the breadth of
Black Panther Party politics and political activity Examines the
ways in which the Black Panther Party has been depicted in popular
culture, including in films and in hip-hop culture Includes
biographical sketches of the most significant Panther members,
along with a selection of primary documents
