Clarence Lusane Assist. Professor,

"More than three decades after its founding, the Black Panther
Party remains the center of much discussion and debate. Despite
a recent resurgence of interest in the Party, misconceptions about
the organization persist largely unchallenged. This new interest
provides an important opportunity to dispel myths and to examine
the organization's hotly debated history, progressive politics,
intriguing inner workings, and enduring legacy. The Black Panther
Party Reconsidered begins this important process with a critical
and balanced study of the Party's activities and politics. ^"
