Newton was called many things in his time: revolutionary, genius, criminal, even the most surveilled human being in world history. Yet, little of the truth about him is known today due to persistent distortions of his legacy as co-founder of the Black Panther Party.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this much-needed intellectual history, Delio Vásquez establishes Newton as a true philosopher. Newton developed innovative theories for how the most oppressed could spearhead revolutionary change in a rapidly developing technological society. Inspired by his ideas, the Panthers forged alliances with Black student unions and street gangs, Hollywood elites and poor whites, the gay liberation movement and Third World nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNewton left behind dozens of unpublished manuscripts analyzing politics, feminist thought, education, philosophy, evolutionary biology, and theology - texts presented here for the first time. Vásquez also puts into proper perspective 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Delio Vasquez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Lives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509543342","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48405747400841,"sku":"9781509543342","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a7319fe7-8e50-4817-ac65-d29faba2d21c.jpg?v=1790058375","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/huey-p-newton-i-am-we-9781509543342","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
