"A crystallization of the time: Cleaver's book is a personal journey and an accurate summation of the American political maelstrom of the 1960s. There are also some decent chapters on the psychology of racism a la Fanon. This work is definitely dangerous, and not obedient in anyway. For such a good thinker, it is a shame that his life turned in the direction it did in his later years. But... movements like these are always squashed with great force."
"Eldridge is brilliant and raw. This text is a great tool for understanding society then and now. He is often cited as being "angry," though I would argue otherwise- he is critical, sensitive, thoughtful, and RAW.
This is a short book, though not your average "quick-read." Eldridge will challenge you and make you feel uncomfortable (depending on your background: racial, educational, social).
I am open to anyone who would want to discuss this text, and I encourage anyone who does not like or who disagrees greatly with the text to hit me up to discuss the book."
"Cleaver's voice is always enjoyable in its unabashed willingness to say pretty much anything. His prison letters tell an interesting story about struggles endured by African Americans from the 1950s-on while also demonstrating his burgeoning radical consciousness. Although I did not find myself agreeing with Cleaver in many parts--particularly his take on gender, which is positively medieval--his insights on race in America and the radical potential of the youth are particularly apt."
"I read this book when it was first printed. It was a sentinal work by Eldridge Cleaver that expressed the outrage of a man oppressed by the unjust racial conditions of the time. There is credible evidence that works like this have led to an opening for black Americans to experience the liberties and freedoms that the Constitution affords all of us."
