In a time of ideological confusion, growing authoritarianism and ecological collapse, the cyclical failures of Leftist frameworks to address these concerns have left many confused, heartbroken and jaded. While Leftist tendencies have served as vessels for poor or working-class individuals to respond to exploitation and domination, the "organized Left" and the many "revolutionary" lifestylists who associate themselves with it have largely opted for moral judgment over concrete action.

Moving Beyond the Left unpacks and critiques the so-called "revolutionary Left," beginning first with its origins and the history of Black identity in Leftist North American politics, then dissecting interactions between Leftists and the Western morality politics of the "self" and "other." It insists that those who prioritize freedom should work toward a world beyond race, gender and other social constructs if they wish to confront the oppressive systems predicated on their existence

Driven by the Movement collects the stories of twenty ordinary people who did extraordinary things for the Black liberation struggle during the pivotal decade of 1965–1975. These activists came from across the US and all walks of life—single working mothers, clergy, students, teachers, military veterans—to organize against police brutality, poverty, hunger, substandard schools, and colonialism in Africa. 

Drawing from her own experience at the heart of the movement, JoNina Abron-Ervin’s on-the-ground reporting offers a rare look into the pragmatism, optimism, compromise, and contradiction and the everyday acts of dedication that animated the Black Power era.

This new edition includes expanded material on the history of the Black Panther newspaper as a source of mass political education and on the Black Panther Party’s legendary survival programs, such as its Free Breakfast for Children and healthcare programs.

A foreword by writer and organizer William C. Anderson connects two torchbearers of the Black radical tradition across generations.

A society born of white supremacy and patriarchy must, by definition, ignore the voices of Black women. We know that unfortunately, such an attitude will also naturally seep into every stratum of that society Part of the contribution to correct that was the centering and airing of Black women’s voices through Some of Us Are Brave: A Black Women’s Radio Program that aired on Pacifica’s Los Angeles radio station (KPFK) from 2003 until 2011. The program covered a myriad of issues by amplifying the voices of a broad cross-section of Black women. Some of those voices have been preserved here in this volume. In addition to capturing various moments in time with a variety of women, this is also a means of taking the intellectual production of and about Black women out of the hands of institutions that are both fundamentally anti-Black and anti-woman. Volume 1 contains interviews under the headings The Shoulders on Which We Stand and Black Lives Have Always Mattered. Volume 2 will cover Black Women’s Health, Bruthas on Sistas, and Sistas in Struggle.

The mystery that launched Gary Phillips’s career: Black private eye Ivan Monk investigates the murder of a Korean shop owner in the aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

This reissued edition features an introduction by Walter Mosley.

In 1992, Los Angeles burned. In the aftermath of the Rodney King beating and subsequent riots, a ground-breaking ceremony at the infamous intersection of Florence and Normandie unearths the body of a Korean shop owner. Black private eye Ivan Monk searches for the killer—many suspect the motives for the murder were racial. But then another body turns up, and while the FBI and the Rolling Daltons—the largest gang in the city—dog Monk’s trail, Monk begins to question just how many people will be involved, and how many will die before he can find the truth.
