Revolution In These Times: Black Panther Party Veteran Dhoruba Bin Wahad on Anti-fascism, Black Liberation, and a Culture of Resistance
by Dhoruba Bin Wahad
Common Notions, £14.99
A REVOLUTIONARY is not a victim. In fact, a revolutionary fights against victimhood past, present and future. Former Black Panther and Black Liberation Army (BLA) member Dhoruba Bin-Wahad not only understands this truth, he preaches it and he lives it.
Revolution in These Times is a collection of conversations, interviews and talks featuring Bin-Wahad. These forums took place over the past 10 years or so. Many of them are (edited for clarity) transcripts of conversations held on Black Power Media, an alternative media undertaking founded by Kalonji Jama Changa that describes its politics as Pan-Africanist, internationalist, and socialist.
