Amid music festivals and moon landings, the tumultuous year of 1969 included an infamous case in the annals of criminal justice and Black liberation: the New York City Black Panther 21. Though some among the group had hardly even met one another, the 21 were rounded up by the FBI and New York Police Department in an attempt to disrupt and destroy the organization that was attracting young people around the world. Involving charges of conspiracy to commit violent acts, the Panther 21 trial—the longest and most expensive in New York history—revealed the illegal government activities which led to exile, imprisonment on false charges, and assassination of Black liberation leaders. Solidarity for the 21 also extended well beyond “movement” circles and included mainstream publication of their collective autobiography, Look for Me in the Whirlwind, which is reprinted here for the first time. Look for Me in the Whirlwind: From the Panther 21 to 21st-Century Revolutions contains the entire original manuscript, and includes new commentary from surviving members of the 21: Sekou Odinga, Dhoruba Bin Wahad, Jamal Joseph, and Shaba Om. Still-imprisoned Sundiata Acoli, Imam Jamil Al-Amin, and Mumia Abu-Jamal contribute new essays. Never or rarely seen poetry and prose from Afeni Shakur, Kuwasi Balagoon, Ali Bey Hassan, and Michael “Cetewayo” Tabor is included. Early Panther leader and jazz master Bilal Sunni-Ali adds a historical essay and lyrics from his composition “Look for Me in the Whirlwind,” and coeditors kioni-sadiki, Meyer, and Panther rank-and-file member Cyril “Bullwhip” Innis Jr. help bring the story up to date. At a moment when the Movement for Black Lives recites the affirmation that “it is our duty to win,” penned by Black Liberation Army (BLA) militant Assata Shakur, those who made up the BLA and worked alongside of Assata are largely unknown. This book—with archival photos from David Fenton, Stephen Shames, and the private collections of the authors— provides essential parts of a hidden and missing-in-action history. Going well beyond the familiar and mythologized nostalgic Panther narrative, From the Panther 21 to 21st-Century Revolutions explains how and why the Panther legacy is still relevant and vital today.

From his humble beginnings in the hills of St. Ann, Jamaica, to his co-founding and leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (the largest mass movement of Black people in history),"Look for Me in the Whirlwind: A Story of Marcus Garvey", written by Literacy Specialist and former middle school teacher Colwyn Burchall, Jr., takes its readers on a journey through the life of the inimitable Marcus Mosiah Garvey - one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century. Why was Marcus Garvey so controversial? What did he attempt to do? What forces were plotting his downfall? What was his legacy? These and other questions are explored as Mr. Burchall presents thorny issues of racial discrimination and violence with the restraint and compassion befitting a highly skilled educator. His sensitive treatment of potentially inflammatory subject matter allows young readers to focus on Marcus Garvey as a brilliant example of courage, intelligence and dedication to the achievement of human rights and justice for all Black people, no matter where in the world they are to be found.

A woman’s true account of eighteen years as a Soviet prisoner: “Not even Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich matches it.”—The New York Times Book Review In the late 1930s, Eugenia Ginzburg was a wife and mother, a schoolteacher and writer, and a longtime loyal Communist Party member. But like millions of others during Stalin’s reign of terror, she was arrested—on trumped-up charges of being a Trotskyist terrorist counter-revolutionary—and sentenced to prison. With sharp detail and an indefatigable spirit, Ginzburg recounts her arrest and the eighteen harrowing years she endured in Soviet prisons and labor camps, including two in solitary confinement. Her memoir is “a compelling personal narrative of survival” (The New York Times Book Review)—and one of the most important documents of Stalin’s brutal regime. “Deeply significant…intensely personal and passionately felt.”—Time “Probably the best account that has ever been published of…the prison and camp empire of the Stalin era.”—Book World Translated by Paul Stevenson and Max Hayward

In Firestorm, the first book of the Caretaker Trilogy, seventeen-year-old Jack Danielson saved the world's oceans, but at great personal cost -- his parents were killed and everything he knew and believed in was turned upside down. Now Jack has come home to see P.J., his girlfriend and sole remaining touchstone. But she's missing, and blame falls on Jack. On the run with Gisco, his crafty canine sidekick, Jack is literally caught up in a whirlwind as he travels to the heart of darkness to rescue P.J. -- a journey that will bring him face-to-face with the father of his old nemesis, the colonel, aka the Dark Lord from the future. Jack's quest becomes all the more complicated as he discovers that the only person who can stop the Dark Lord is another time traveler, the wizard Kidah, who has disappeared in the present. Book 2 of the Caretaker Trilogy mixes heart-racing adventure with an urgent ecological warning about the fragility of the world's rain forests and the importance of respect for indigenous peoples. Readers will be drawn into the vortex of the quest -- whether or not they're familiar with Book 1.

Inhaltsangabe:Gang der Untersuchung: Diese Arbeit sieht sich als biographische Überblicksdarstellung. Mir erschien es wichtig, aufgrund bisher fehlender Publikationen in deutscher Sprache, das Leben und Schaffen des Marcus Garvey in einer Gesamtdarstellung zu zeigen und zu deuten. Besondere Schwerpunkte dieser Arbeit sind außer den privaten und unmittelbaren Lebensstationen Garveys, sowie seines Weltbildes und seiner Philosophie vor allem eine ausführliche Betrachtung von Garveys Zeit in den USA 1916-27, die dortigen Geschehnisse rund um seine Massenorganisation UNIA, sowie der wichtigsten Nebenorganisation, der gescheiterten Schifffahrtsgesellschaft Black Star Line . Ein für mich weiterer wichtiger und zu analysierender Aspekt ist Garveys überzeugter und oftmals mit aller Härte geführter Kampf gegen seine Feinde bzw. Konkurrenten. Dieser betrifft vor allem Garveys komplexes Verhältnis zur NAACP und W.E.B. DuBois, aber auch die National Urban League und andere elitäre afroamerikanische Organisationen, die aufstrebenden Gewerkschaften, feindlich gesinnte Journalisten und deren Zeitungen und die Vereinigten Staaten insgesamt als Ankläger im Betrugsprozess gegen Garvey und die Black Star Line . Zuerst wird jedoch im zweiten Abschnitt dieser Arbeit das Leben Garveys vor seiner Abreise in die USA 1916 betrachtet werden. Beginnend mit seiner Kindheit in St. Anns Bay/Jamaika, seinem Verhältnis zum christlich geprägten Elternhaus und seinen Spielkameraden, seiner frühen Erziehung und Bildung und ersten schmerzlichen Erfahrungen mit der in Jamaika zu dieser Zeit vorherrschenden speziellen Form des Rassismus. Es wird gezeigt, wie der junge Marcus Garvey schon früh ein Bewusstsein für die Erniedrigung der schwarzen Bevölkerung entwickelte, welches ihn in Verbindung mit seinen Erlebnissen als Drucker und später als Publizist zu einem charismatischen Anführer einer bis dato noch nicht gesehenen Massenbewegung von Menschen schwarzer Hautfarbe aufsteigen ließ. Weitere Schwerpunkte in diesem Abschnitt sind Garveys frühe Reisen durch die Karibik und Lateinamerika zwischen 1907 und 1912, die ihn nachhaltig prägten und seine tiefe Besorgnis über den Zustand der dort lebenden Schwarzen nach dem offiziellen Ende der Sklaverei verstärkten, ihn aber auch darin bekräftigten, selbst etwas für die Gleichberechtigung und das Zusammenstehen seiner Rasse zu unternehmen. Ein zweijähriger Aufenthalt in London, damals die Metropole des Kolonialismus und frühen [...]
