Description: Revolution or Death by Justin Gifford Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "The first trade biography of one of the most notorious black revolutionaries in history, exploring the audacious dreams and spiritual transformations of the eccentric radical and placing him squarely within the context of his changing times"-- Publisher Description "An illuminating study of a complex, memorable historical figure." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review A remarkable biography that examines the notorious Black revolutionary meticulously within the context of his changing times Charismatic, brilliant, and courageous, Eldridge Cleaver built a base of power and influence that struck fear deep in the heart of White America. It was therefore shocking to many left-wing radicals when Cleaver turned his back on Black revolution, the Nation of Islam, and communism in 1975. How can we make sense of Cleavers precipitous decline from a position as one of Americas most vibrant Black writers and activists? And how do his contradictory identities as criminal, party leader, international diplomat, Christian conservative, and Republican politician reveal that he was more than just a traitor to the advancement of civil rights? Author Justin Gifford obtained exclusive access to declassified files from the French police, the American embassy, and the FBI, as well as Kathleen Cleavers archive, to answer these questions about a man far more compelling and complex than anyone has given him credit for. In a country defined by its extreme political positions on the right and left, Cleaver embodied both ideologies in pursuit of his conflicting ideals. Author Biography Justin Gifford is an associate professor of English literature at the University of Nevada, Reno, and the author of Street Poison: The Biography of Iceberg Slim and Pimping Fictions: African American Crime Literature and the Untold Story of Black Pulp Publishing.
