The autobiography of Black Panther H. Rap Brown (aka Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin)
RevSocialist اش...
I have quoted several times already on my other blog Al-Amin's autobiography "Die Nigger Die!" and before I present the book I would like to explain the off putting title, in Al-Amin's words: "Negroes and whites have wished death to all Blacks, to all niggers. Their sentiment is “Die Nigger Die!” – either by becoming a negro or by institutionalization or active genocide." Al-Amin was a well known leader in the civil rights struggle and later became an important figure in the Black Panthers. This book doesn't just detail political struggle, it also documents life in the heart of the most racist country on earth, similar to the divide in Malcolm X's autobiography. All in all I really enjoyed this book, and thought it was worth sharing with all my comrades out there for them to enjoy...so enjoy :)
