Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the Milwaukee branch of the Black Panther Party, this analysis seeks to dismantle prevalent stereotypes, such as the notions of violence and sexism associated with the organization. By highlighting the Party's community programs and the significant contributions of women within it, the author presents a more nuanced view. The book posits that the Black Panther Party was fundamentally dedicated to delivering vital services to lower-income and working-class African American communities, rather than being an extremist group intent on government overthrow.
