Black against Empire by Joshua Bloom
Published on the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party, this book features a new preface by the authors that places the Party in a contemporary political landscape, especially as it relates to Black Lives Matter and other struggles to fight police brutality against black communities.
"The book offers an opportunity to look to the past to understand contemporary police brutality and the kinds of strategies that emerge from movements against itAnother strength of Black Against Empire is the sheer volume of research that went into producing the book. The breadth and depth of the sources amassed to construct the history of the party are nothing short of impressive." -- Joyce M. Bell Social Forces
