Brand Name:  Jawanza Kunjufu
Item # / SKU:  520
This book answers the critical questions of why foreign businesses have been so successful in the African American community. But Black Economics does much more than merely identify and describe the dimensions of this chronic financial drain on the black community, it recommends clear, concise, practical and urgently needed empowerment solutions to assist the black community to secure economic gains. Jawanza Kunjufu is candid, knowledgeable and persuasive. Black Economics should be required reading in every economics class and on the lending shelves of ever black community's public library.

"How an interdimensial race has controlled the world for thousands of years - and still does"

The Publisher claims that we are born into a world controlled by unseen forces that have plagued and manipulated humanity for thousands of years. No, this is no script from a Hollywood movie. It is claimed to be happening to you NOW. You may look around and think that what you see is "real". But in truth you are living in an illusion - an illusion designed to keep you in a mental, emotional, spiritual prison cell. David Icke exposes these forces and their methods of human control and he claims to reveal a fantastic web of global manipulation, orchestrated by forces byond this physical realm. He exposes the hidden bloodlines, through which other-dimensional entities live and operate unseen among us; and he claims to show how the bloodlines of the royal, political, and economic rulers of today are the same as those who ruled as the kings and queens of ancient times.

    Brand Name:  Sam Greenlee
    Item # / SKU:  spook book
    An explosive, award-winning novel in the black literary tradition, "The Spook Who Sat by the Door" is both a satire of the civil rights problems in the United States in the late 1960s and a serious attempt to focus on the issue of black militancy.

    Dan Freeman, the "spook who sat by the door," is enlisted in the CIA's elitist espionage program. Upon mastering agency tactics, however, he drops out to train young Chicago blacks as "Freedom Fighters." As a story of one man's reaction to ruling-class hypocrisy, the book is autobiographical and personal. As a tale of a man's reaction to oppression, it is universal

    Brand Name:  Elaine Brown
    Item # / SKU:  8713
    In her autobiography A Taste of Power, A Black Woman's Story, Elaine Brown chronicles her life from her childhood through her rise to the head of the Black Panther Party. She describes her feelings of powerlessness and fear as a black girl growing up in a poor section of North Philadelphia and her desire to assimilate in order to become like her elementary school classmates - white and affluent. It is not until after college and several eye-opening relationships with white men that she becomes politicized and turns to the Black Panther Party. She feels that their struggle is her struggle, their problems are her problems - but she rapidly finds herself in conflict. In the midst of a Black Panther Party that has become obsessed with armed revolution, she fights for social programs such as food banks, schools, and medical assistance. During her rise to leadership she repeatedly has to confront the machismo of the Panther Party: "A woman in the Black Power movement was considered, at best, irrelevant ... If a black woman assumed a role of leadership, she was said to be eroding black manhood, to be hindering the progress of the black race. She was an enemy of black people." She journeys from belief to disagreement to violent opposition, and eventually flees in fear for her safety. A Taste of Power is an insightful, detailed, and fast-moving look into Elaine Brown's struggles against oppression and opposition, before and during the era of the Black Panther movement

    Brand Name:  Assata Shakur
    Item # / SKU:  1236
    Assata tells stories of her upbringing, narrated her confusion and feelings of being incredibly lost. Sparks of intelligence and pride would fly in her, but she was unsure of where to go with it. This book shows that with action and a hungry motivation for reform to come about either in society or in an individual, something will happen. People have been reviewing this saying I wish there was more of this or more of that. But what must be understood is that this woman spent more than 10 years in jail, in solitary confinement, after that she fled to cuba for political asylum, it doesn't seem she could just sit down and write what she wanted when she wanted, especially details that could be used against those in the struggle.

    Item # / SKU:  WRC
    Longtime activist, author and political figure Angela Davis brings us this expose of the women's movement in the context of the fight for civil rights and working class issues. She uncovers a side of the fight for suffrage many of us have not heard: the intimate tie between the anti-slavery campaign and the struggle for women's suffrage. She shows how the racist and classist bias of some in the women's movement have divided its own membership. Davis' message is clear: If we ever want equality, we're gonna have to fight for it together

    Brand Name:  Mumia Abu-Jamal
    Item # / SKU:  144
    The essays that Mumia writes here offer the reader an insight in the criminal justice system that you could only see if you are inside it. When reading this essays,the reader gets the feeling of depression, isolation, sadness and of despair that any person on death row might be feeling. To me, anytime that a reader can feel the emotion of a story, the writer has achieved a point. Now whether or not you agree with the death penalty, I think that you should read this book. It will force you to think about you position and see it justice is really being served. The irony now is that someone else has finally come forward and admitted to the murder that Mumia was convicted of, but Mumia is still in a life or death battle to be freed. I think that the reader will enjoy this book and be overwhelmed by the emotion
