Black Liberation and Palestine Solidarity

Black Liberation and Palestine Solidarity is a collection of selected essays by Lenni Brenner and Matthew Quest investigating the historical response of African American freedom movements to the colonial settler state of Israel and its role in American imperialism in the Middle East. Through nuanced discussions of racism, capitalism, imperialism, and state power, these writings help to clarify one of the most controversial legacies of Black liberation in the United States.

Among other topics and controversies, Brenner and Quest provide independent analysis of Stokely Carmichael, James Forman, the Black Panther Party, Malcolm X, Harold Cruse, the Nation of Islam, Israel s relationship to Apartheid South Africa, and the recent conflict between Alice Walker and the Anti-Defamation League.
