Black Power : The Politics of Liberation
A revolutionary work since its publication, Black Power exposed the depths of systemic racism in this country and provided a radical political framework: true and lasting social change would only be accomplished through unity among Black people and their independence from the preexisting order. An eloquent document of the civil rights movement that remains a work of profound social relevance 50 years after it was first published.
Afeni Shakur : Evolution of a Revolutionary
Before becoming one of the most well-known members of the Black Power movement, Alice Faye Williams was not unlike any other poor, Black girl growing up in the impoverished South. But when her family moved to New York during the radical sixties, she became intoxicated by the promise of social change. By the time she turned twenty-one, Alice had a new name -- Afeni Shakur, derived from the Yoruba term for "lover of people" -- and a new vision for the future. The rest is history.
