Images of upraised fists, afros, and dashikis have long dominated the collective memory of Black Power and its proponents. The 'guerilla' figure - taking the form of the black-leather-clad revolutionary within the Black Panther Party - has become an iconic trope in American popular culture. This book uses the guerilla figure as a point of departure, and shows how the trope's rhetoric animates discourses of representation and identity in African American and Asian American literature and culture.
