商品描述
Huey P. Newton was called many things in his time: revolutionary, genius, criminal, even the most surveilled human being in world history. Yet, little is known about him still because of persistent distortions to his name and legacy as co-founder of the Black Panther Party.
In this new and much-needed intellectual biography, political theorist Delio Vásquez establishes Newton as a true and original philosopher. Newton's compassion for the suffering of the people of the streets led him to develop innovative theories for how the most oppressed could spearhead revolutionary change against rising technocracy through communal defense of loving communities. The Panthers forged alliances with Black student unions and street gangs, Hollywood elites and poor whites, the gay liberation movement and Third World nations.
Newton left behind dozens of unpublished manuscripts analyzing anthropology, politics, feminist thought, education, philosophy, evolutionary biology, and theology - ideas presented here for the first time. Vásquez also puts into proper perspective Newton's late descent into addiction and madness, a direct effect of U.S. government techniques of war that targeted his mind, body, and soul in ways that are still all too relevant. Today, Newton's maxim 'I am we, ' resounds more than ever.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
Huey P. Newton 在他的一生中被稱為許多東西：革命者、天才、罪犯，甚至是世界歷史上被監視最多的人。然而，由於對他作為黑豹黨共同創始人的名字和遺產的持續扭曲，對他的了解仍然很少。
在這本新出版且極需的知識性傳記中，政治理論家 Delio Vásquez 將 Newton 確立為一位真正且原創的哲學家。Newton 對街頭人民苦難的同情促使他發展出創新的理論，探討最被壓迫者如何通過對充滿愛的社區的共同防衛，領導對日益增長的技術專制的革命性變革。黑豹黨與黑人學生聯盟、街頭幫派、好萊塢精英、貧困白人、同性戀解放運動以及第三世界國家建立了聯盟。
Newton 留下了數十篇未出版的手稿，分析人類學、政治學、女性主義思想、教育、哲學、進化生物學和神學——這些思想在此首次呈現。Vásquez 也適當地將 Newton 晚期的成癮和瘋狂置於正確的視角，這是美國政府針對他的心靈、身體和靈魂的戰爭技術的直接影響，這些影響至今仍然非常相關。今天，Newton 的箴言「我就是我們」比以往任何時候都更加響亮。
