ITEM OVERVIEW
More than any other black leader, H. Rap Brown, a chairman of the radical Black Power organization SNCC, came to symbolize the ideology of black revolution. Die Nigger Die!—first published in 1969 and long unavailable—tells the story of the making of a revolutionary. Much more than a personal history, it is a call to arms and an urgent message to the black community to be the vanguard force in the struggle of oppressed people. Forthright and sardonic, it's not only illuminating and dynamic reading but an essential document to understanding the upheavals of the late 1960s. This new edition includes an afterword by Professor Ekwueme Michael Thelwell, covering Brown's decades of harassment by law enforcement agencies and his extraordinary transformation into an important Muslim leader.
