The Revolutionary Vol. 1: a Black People's History of Armed Resistance to Racism and Other Forms of Oppression Kobie Colemon

The Revolutionary is all about WAAAR: Waging African American Armed Resistance to racist oppression throughout three distinct historical epochs or chambers. Plus an exciting and defiant '4th Chamber' which describes current social conditions in the United States (and elsewhere) as a revolutionary situation that is set to explode The Revolutionary Vol. 1 is unique in that no other single text attempts to portray the history of African American armed resistance in its entirety, or to make it available as a possible strategy to end racist oppression. The Revolutionary Vol. 1 introduces a Black people's history of armed resistance from an analytic perspective accessible to both scholars and students of history, as well as anyone interested in this fascinating aspect of the Black Experience. Indeed, The Revolutionary is accessible to all. Lucid, well-organized, and extensively documented, The Revolutionary Vol. 1 offers a fresh approach to the traditional problems of racism and raises challenging new issues in the use of violence to combat oppression.
