Ready for Revolution

Title:Ready for Revolution
Author:Stokely Carmichael

By any measure, Stokley Carmichael (Kwame Ture) fundamentally altered the course of history. Published at the fifth anniversary of Carmichael's death, This long awaited autobiography fill a yawning gap in the American historical record as it chronicles the legendary civil rights leader's work as chairman of SNCC, patriarch of Black Power, Pan-African activist, and social revolutionary. It is an unflinching, searing, often visionary testament to the man's legacy and joins the works of Frederick Douglas, W. E. B. Du Bois, Malcolm X, and Nelson Mandela as a crucial and colorful contribution to contemporary history.
As in life, the Carmichael in these pages is the definition of charisma and determination. In sharp prose full of Carmichael's candor, wit, irrepressible sense of irony, and undying love for his people, Ready For Revolution relates with clear-eyed intelligence the epic struggle for human liberation in our time. Carmichael--who in 1978 changed his name to Kwame Ture in honor of his mentors, the revolutionary African leaders Kwame Nkrumah and Sekou Toure--recounts the course of his own experience and struggles, ranging from the prison farms and lynch mobs of Mississippi through the firefights and political intrigue of the African Liberation wars to Black Power and Pan-Africanism. His transformation from immigrant child to impassioned activist is spellbinding. Ready For R evolution captures, as few books ever have, the pulse of the cultural upheavals that define the modern world. More than the sum of it's parts, this book is the personal testimony of a supremely courageous and committed African-American freedom fighter, radical thinker, and warm and engaging human being. Regardless of whether one subscribes to Carmichael's politics and ideas, there is no denying the overwhelming influence he had on American lives and history.



ON MAY 2, 1973, Black Panther Assata Shakur (aka JoAnne Chesimard) lay in a hospital, close to death, handcuffed to her bed, while local, state, and federal police attempted to question her about the shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike that had claimed the life of a white state trooper, Long a target of J. Edgar Hoover's campaign to defame, infiltrate and criminalize Black nationalist organizations and their leaders, Shakur was incarcerated for four yearsprior to her conviction on flimsy evidence in 1977 as an accomplice to murder.
This intensely personal and political autobiography belies the fearsome image of JoAnne Chesimard long projected by the media and the state. With wit and candor, Assata Shakur recounts the experiences that led her to a life of activism and portrays the strengths, weaknesses, and eventual demise of Black and White revolutionary at the hands of government officials. The result is a signal contribution to the literature about growing up Black in America
Two years after her conviction, Assata Shakur escaped from prison. She was given political asylum in Cuba, Where she now resides.

Soledad Brother

Author:George Jackson

When Soledad Brother was first published, many people sensed in George Jackson the successor to Malcolm X. Jackson emerged from obscurity transformed from a precipitous, despair-ridden adolescent into a man of knowledge, passion, and control. The power of George Jackson's personal story remains painfully relevant to our nation today, with it's persistent racism, its hellish prisons, its unjust judicial system, and the poles of wealth and poverty. Though George Jackson was murdered ten months after the book was published, Soledad Brother remains a menace to the powers that killed him.

This book is a contribution to the understanding of Black Civilization and the way of African people. It is a comprehensive analysis of our past and a most perceptive and relevant analysis of our present condition as a people. This book should be the basis for all the so-called Black studies programs. This book needs little analysis. it needs to be read. The message of this book is sharp snd clear for everyone to see... It says that the central problem of the 30 million Black Americans in the United States is unity--That we must unite or perish.



"Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for ma all around you, for with God's grace, I shall come and bring with me countless millions of Black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for Liberty, Freedom and Life.
"The civilization of today has gone drunk and crazy with its power and by such it seeks through injustice, fraud and lies to crush the unfortunate. But if I am apparently crushed by the system of influence and misdirected power, my cause shall rise again to plague the conscience of the corrupt. For this I am satisfied, and for you, I repeat, I am glad to suffer and even die. Again, I say, cheer up, for better day are ahead. I shall write the history that will inspire the millions that are coming and leave the posterity of our enemies to reckon with the hosts for the deeds of their fathers." - Marcus Garvey

Christianity, Islam, and the Negro Race

Title:Christianity, Islam, and the Negro Race
Author:Edward W. Blyden
# of pages:432
List Price:$18.95
Buy Now: $18.00

A native of St.Thomas, West Indies, Edward Wilmot Blyden (1832-1912) lived most of his life on the African continent. He was an accomplished educator, linguist, writer and world traveller, who strongly defended the unique character of Africa and it's people.
Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race is an essential collection of his writings on race, culture and the African personality.
The Black Classic Press edition is a complete reproduction of the 1888 revised and corrected edition. It remains an important source for examining an early African centered perspective on race, religion, and the socioeconomic development of Africa.



The main thesis of this book is that the operational existence of Black-on-Black violence in the United States is psychologically and economically mandated by White American-dominated status quo. The criminalization of the Black American male is a psychopolitically engineered process designed to maintain the dependency and relative powerlessness of the African-American and Pan-Afrikan communities.
Black-on-Black Violence, however moves far beyond blaming the victimizer. it's meticulous and painstaking exposure of the psychosocial and intrapsychical dynamics of Black-on-Black criminality is startlingly revealing. Its analyses of the collective psyches of both the White American and Black American communities are unsparingly and powerfully instructive. The reader will not be left unmoved.

African Precence in Early America

Sixteen years have passed since They Came Before Columbus appeared, in which Van Sertima presented most of the facts that were then known about the links between Africa and America before Columbus. But since then many more sculptures have emerged from the earth or from the backrooms of private collections. New stone heads have surfaced in recent excavations while a very old one with a seven-braided Ethiopian hairstyle has come out of a century of obscurity into sudden prominence. Far more sophisticated analyses may now be presented of ancient African astronomy, map-making, scripts, navigation, trade routes, pyramidal structure, linguistic connections, technological and ritual complexes. In this collective work, Van Sertima is joined by half a dozen other colleagues. The work focuses largely on contact between Africa and America towards the close of the bronze age. (circa 948-680 B.C.) and the Mandingo-Songhay trading voyages (from early fourteenth to late fifteenth century).



Cornel West has for the last decade been one of the nation's premiere public intellectuals and one of the great prophetic voices of our era. The Cornel West Reader illustrates the breadth and distinction of one of our best known and most prolific public intellectuals, a thinker whose University Professorship at Harvard justly acknowledges the unusual range as well as the quality of his scholarship. West's greatest skill is his ability to write about issues in a way which excites, angers, validates and causes one to think analytically and critically about the world around them...The Cornel West Reader offers something of immense value.
