Critics Review
“In our messy situation where (whatever remains of) the radical Left is constantly sabotaging itself with its Politically Correct moralism, a Huey Newton reader is needed like daily bread: a remainder of a time half a century ago when incisive philosophical thinking was immediately linked to practical political engagement. Newton was a Communist who saw the struggle for decolonization as outdated, a materialist keeping an eye open for extrasensory perception… Our task is not to return to Newton but to repeat his gesture in today’s predicament. The future of the American radical Left will be Newtonian–or there will be none!” –Slavoj Zizek
