Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This book will appeal to readers interested in African American history, civil rights movements, political activism, and autobiographies of influential social leaders.

First published in 1969, this work tells the story of the making of a revolutionary. It is a call to arms, an urgent message to the black community to be the vanguard force in the struggle of oppressed people. It is an important document that is essential to understanding the upheavals of the late 1960s.

Description

More than any other black leader, H. Rap Brown, chairman of the radical Black Power organisation Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), came to symbolise the ideology of black revolution. Die Nigger Die! is an autobiography that was first published in 1969, went through seven printings, and has long been unavailable. It chronicles the making of a revolutionary. It is much more than a personal history, however; it is a call to arms, an urgent message to the black community to be the vanguard force in the struggle of oppressed people.

Forthright, sardonic, and shocking, this book is not only illuminating and dynamic but also a vitally important document that is essential to understanding the upheavals of the late 1960s. University of Massachusetts professor Ekwueme Michael Thelwell has updated this edition, covering Brown's decades of harassment by law enforcement agencies, his extraordinary transformation into an important Muslim leader, and his sensational trial.
