Reviews
"By tracing the history of the Black Panther Party through the evolution of its popular imagery, Jane Rhodes has made a major contribution to scholarship. Her treatment of this controversial organization is well-researched, admirably balanced, singularly insightful, and a pleasure to read."--Clayborne Carson, Director, Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute
"No scholar has better documented and explained the Black Panther Party 's continuing hold on the popular imagination than Jane Rhodes. In a moment when black men and women dying at the hands of police is once again in the public eye, and insurgent political confrontation takes form through mediated images and pithy slogans, the republication of Framing the Black Panthers is both timely and relevant."--Nikhil Pal Singh, author of Black Is a Country: Race and the Unfinished Struggle for Democracy
