In The Revolution Has Come Robyn C. Spencer traces the Black
Panther Party's organizational evolution in Oakland, California,
where hundreds of young people came to political awareness and
journeyed to adulthood as members. Challenging the belief that the
Panthers were a projection of the leadership, Spencer draws on
interviews with rank-and-file members, FBI files, and archival
materials to examine the impact the organization's internal
politics and COINTELPRO's political repression had on its evolution
and dissolution. She shows how the Panthers' members interpreted,
implemented, and influenced party ideology and programs; initiated
dialogues about gender politics; highlighted ambiguities in the
Panthers' armed stance; and criticized organizational priorities.
Spencer also centers gender politics and the experiences of women
and their contributions to the Panthers and the Black Power
movement as a whole. Providing a panoramic view of the party's
organization over its sixteen-year history, The Revolution Has Come
shows how the Black Panthers embodied Black Power through the
party's international activism, interracial alliances, commitment
to address state violence, and desire to foster self-determination
in Oakland's black communities.
