Revolutionary Suicide

De: Huey P. Newton, Fredrika Newton - introduction

Narrado por: C.T. Hayes, Fredrika Newton

The searing, visionary memoir of founding Black Panther Huey P. Newton

Tracing the birth of a revolutionary, Huey P. Newton's famous and oft-quoted autobiography is as much a manifesto as a portrait of the inner circle of America's Black Panther Party. From Newton's impoverished childhood on the streets of Oakland to his adolescence and struggles with the system, from his role in the Black Panthers to his solitary confinement in the Alameda County Jail, Revolutionary Suicide is unrepentant and thought-provoking in its portrayal of inspired radicalism.

Huey knowledge of the law & how he used it to his advantage was remarkable.

Huey P. Newton was a brilliant man with just as many faults as any human. His similarities to Malcolm X were within close resembles outside of Malcolm’s religious beliefs. My only criticism of the book would probably be the order of events or how they were chronologically written, but even that is a stretch. This is a profound piece of literature that every PERSON should listen to or read.

Knowledge

I have read this book 3 times and absolutely admire and enjoy the concepts, knowledge, and power included in these pages.

Very relevant to the current 21st century American historical moment

This autobiography contains an excellent combination of revolutionary theory and reflections on instances of putting theory into practice.

Great Read!

After watching Judas and the Black Messiah for the 3rd time I decided to give this a listen and was not disappointed. Loved all 13 hours of this book. I will definitely read all the other books referenced such as “Soledad Brother”.

Absolute classic

It’s about time Audible got this. A lot of the book deals with Huey’s controversial trial for killing a cop. In a different time and place Huey could’ve been a head of state. It’s refreshing to see and read about a revolutionary who knows law and constructed an organization based on ways to fight injustice and inequality based on knowing law.

King Huey

Read it love it, read it again & love it again…. Black Panthers paved the way for us in 2024 long live King Hampton

Excellent read!

This book was written in a way that accurately describes the perspective of those who are disenfranchised and oppressed, perspectives which still apply to this day. There was also some excellent insights into human psychology relating to the struggle between ego and consciousness.

A great read (or listen)

Not only is this a great listen, it’s a great book that’s well written. Even though I’m not big on autobiographies, I’m glad I read it.

The meaning of revolutionary suicide

To truly stand up for what you believe in and being willing to fight for it through whatever may come
