Fascism - An excerpt from “Blood in My Eye”
In this letter written from Soledad Prison in 1971, George Jackson critically explores how fascism in America has developed and how comfortable we have become as a society with the constant suffering and unjust and violence of late-stage capitalism.
The Souls of White Folk
In this 1920 essay, W. E. B Du Bois critically explores the notion of “whiteness,” how it has developed as a psychological and moral phenomenon, and how Black people and the world at large suffer at the hands of white people and the unjust and violent society they created.
The Pitfalls of Liberalism
This is an easy to read yet thought-provoking book excerpt written in 1967 by Kwame Ture, a Black revolutionary and key leader of the Black Power movement. This text harshly but truthfully criticizes the actions, or the lack thereof, of the white liberal party. It is a brilliant example of Ture’s ability to push radical thought into action.
