In Search of the Black Panther Party: New Perspectives on a Revolutionary Movement

Controversy swirled around the Black Panthers from the moment the revolutionary black nationalist Party was founded in Oakland, California in 1966. This title includes essays that consider the Panthers as distinctly American revolutionaries, as products of specific local conditions, and as parts of other movements of late 1960s and early 1970s.
