For roots of black radical thought I think Crisis of the Negro
Intellectual by Harold Cruse is a classic.
There is some kind of new edition that Stanley Crouch is involved with
that I would be wary of.
I don't know if any of the books on the BPP are any good. I always
thought well of Bobby Seale,
who wrote one of them. Newton and Carmichael had all sorts of problems,
IMO.
