Thus, this book is a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eliterary tribute to the brave founders and members of the Black Panther organization, who published poems they wrote in the Black Panther newspaper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e By explicating this poetry, using links to African thought and philosophy as well as physics, I have accomplished four intentions: the first, to present this body of literature to contemporary audiences; secondly, to follow a dictate of Malcolm X which is to connect Black America to Africa in all possible ways; thirdly, to unearth American Black literature to academic and lay audiences; and fourthly, to show Black Panthers as artists, minus the guns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo add artistry to the Black Panther legacy broadens the Panthers' humanity which is normally confined to halting police brutality, a chronic problem in Black America. Yet, along with the Panthers' unique approach to solving that dilemma, explicating Panther poetry highlights the African and African-American literary traditions and shows how the originators Bobby G. Seale and Huey P. Newton together founded a unique American organization, which still inspires people locally and globally today. Seale and Newton were working class Black men who started their own newspaper and instituted a plethora of community-based programs using solely Black community resources. They were also cultural consumers who relished in the profound elements of Black music and Black poetry and in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePoetry and the Black Panther Party: from Ancestral Memory, Morphogenetic Fields to Hip Hop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e I catalog how Panther poetry has roots and remedies in ancient African culture. In doing so, in particular for Black Americans and those on the African continent, I have conjoined and resurfaced a buried history alive in contemporary culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archive Souq","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50966338863434,"sku":"","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5474\/2858\/files\/IMG-0542.jpg?v=1748698037","url":"https:\/\/archive-books-berlin.myshopify.com\/products\/poetry-and-the-black-panther-party-from-ancestral-memory-morphogenetic-fields-to-hip","provider":"Archive Souq","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
