Rediscovering Huey Newton's Lost Writings During Fascist Times

Delio Vasquez, James Tracy

Only the second scholarly treatment ever of the co-founder of the Black Panther Party, Huey P. Newton: I am We is an intellectual history and biography that establishes him as a true philosopher. Newton left behind dozens of unpublished manuscripts analyzing politics, economics, technology, feminist thought, education, philosophy, spirituality, and the sciences – texts presented here for the first time. The book also finally provides a real explanation for Newton's late descent into addiction and madness – a direct effect of US government techniques of cognitive war that targeted his body and mind in ways that remain all too relevant today.
