Some know the Party’s history as a movement for the social, political, economic and spiritual upliftment of Black and indigenous people of colour – but to this day, few know the story of the backbone of the Party: the women.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt’s estimated that six out of ten Panther Party members were women. While these remarkable women of all ages and diverse backgrounds were regularly making headlines agitating, protesting, and organizing, off-stage these same women were building communities and enacting social justice, providing food, housing, education, healthcare, and more.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComrade Sisters\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis their story.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe book combines photos by Stephen Shames, who at the time was a 20-year-old college student at Berkeley. With the complete trust of the Black Panther Party, Shames took intimate, behind-the-scenes photographs that fully portrayed Party members’ lives. This marks his third photo book about the Black Panthers and includes many never before published images.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEricka Huggins, an early Party member and leader along with Bobby Seale and Huey Newton, has written a moving text, sharing what drew so many women to the Party and focusing on their monumental work on behalf of the most vulnerable citizens. Most importantly, the book includes contributions from over 50 former women members – some well-known, others not – who vividly recall their personal experiences from that time. Other texts include a foreword by Angela Davis and an afterword by Alicia Garza.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll Power to the People.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-product__video_tag_line\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eISBN9781788841757\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-product__video_tag_line\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished 22nd Sep 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-product__video_tag_line\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBinding Hardback\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-product__video_tag_line\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTerritoryUSA \u0026amp; Canada\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-product__video_tag_line\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize 9.45 in x 11.02 in\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-product__video_tag_line\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePages 192 Pages\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-product__video_tag_line\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIllustrations 10 color, 112 b\u0026amp;w\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dale Zine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47537063428278,"sku":"rut1789961073273","price":31.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/0640\/8118\/files\/comrade-sisters-women-of-the-black-panther-party-photographs-by-stephen-shames-t_1.jpg?v=1789961077","url":"https:\/\/oilfiltercap.shop\/products\/comrade-sisters-women-of-the-black-panther-party-photographs-by-stephen-shames-text-by-ericka-huggin","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
