How to Become a Soldier in the Black Liberation Army: Sixteen Tomes.
- Authors
Gaskew, Tony
- Abstract
The article discusses the Black Liberation Army (BLA) and its use of armed resistance in the 1970s and 1980s. The author, Tony Gaskew, explores the intellectual inspiration behind the BLA and the books that may have influenced its members. Gaskew obtained previously undisclosed FBI documents that revealed a list of sixteen books seized from BLA safe houses in 1973. These books include works by Mao Tse-Tung, Che Guevara, John Dewey, and others. Gaskew examines these books to understand their potential role in shaping the BLA's ideology and revolutionary goals.
