Ashanti Alston & Hilary Darcy – Be careful of your man-tones! Gender politics in revolutionary struggle

Interface-2-1-pp22-35-Alston

This interview  took place on the 4th of March 2009 and focuses on gender politics within the Black Panther Party and beyond. In particular I wanted to understand what forces shaped and changed the patriarchal nature of the Black Power movement in the late 60’s from a time where women were viewed as a threat to the strength of masculine self-realisation, as detailed by bell
hooks, to a point where women held leadership positions in the Black Panther Party.
