| Black Panther Woman |
| In Black Panther Woman: The Political and Spiritual Life of Ericka Huggins, Mary Frances Phillips gives us a tender rendering of Ericka Huggins’s prison organizing and path to spiritual wellness. The cross-fertilization of radical resistance with care strategies captures a more nuanced portrait of the Black Panther Party. — Ula Y. Taylor, author of The Promise of Patriarchy: Women and the Nation of Islam A remarkable story of awakening, commitment, grit, and fearlessness in the wake of personal pain, grassroots struggle, and state violence. Black Panther Woman is a meditation on the pertinence and power of spiritual wellness and encourages us to consider what a radically holistic movement for liberation might need. — Rhonda Y. Williams, author of Concrete Demands: The Search for Black Power in the 20th Century |
