Acerca de esta escucha

"This book is a moving memoir experience: a must read. The dramatic life cycle rise of a youthful sixties political revolutionary, my friend Aaron Dixon." (Bobby Seale, founding chairman and national organizer of the Black Panther Party, 1966 to 1974)

"My People Are Rising: A Memoir of a Black Panther Party Captain is the most authentic book ever written by a member of the Black Panther Party. Aaron Dixon does a superb job of presenting life in the party from the perspective of a foot soldier - a warrior for the cause of revolutionary change and Black power in America. He pulls no punches and holds nothing back in writing honestly about those times (late 1960s and during the 1970s) as he successfully presents a visual picture of the courage, commitment, and sometimes shocking brutality of life as a Panther activist. This is an unforgettable must read book!" (Larry Gossett, chair, Metropolitan King County Council)

In an era of stark racial injustice and decisive action, Aaron Dixon dedicated his life to the struggle for change, founding the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968 at age 19. Through his eyes, we see the courage of a generation that stood up to injustice, their political triumphs and tragedies, and the unforgettable legacy of Black Power.

Aaron Dixon was co-founder and captain of the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party. He has since founded various non-profits for Seattle youth and run as a Green Party candidate in the 2006 Senate race. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

Let me start off by saying I am a collector of books. When I first saw this book (physical copy), the cover sold me. A cool-looking brother leaning out of the front passenger seat of a police cruiser. He’s wearing the traditional black leather jacket and beret they wore in all the movies and documentaries I’ve seen growing up. “Great cover!” I thought, then told the cashier, “I’ll take it.” Schools did a horrible job teaching us about this part of American history, so I spent my entire life thinking that the movie “Panther” by Mario Van Peebles was their complete story. Earlier this year, I read Assata Shakur’s autobiography and loved it (5 stars). I learned plenty from her. But this book gives you much more. You will learn more from this book than you will in any textbook, movie, or documentary I’ve seen. Aaron Dixon was the Captain of the Seattle chapter. In this memoir, he tells you about how life was before joining, why he joined, gives vivid descriptions of his time as a Panther (which is action packed and reads like a movie), what destroyed their organization, and finally his life afterwards. I have other books on the Panthers, but for right now, this book will serve as my reference guide. I’m giving it four and a half stars.

The book and narrator were fantastic!
