Description

Framing the Black Panthers: The Spectacular Rise of a Black Power Icon by Jane Rhodes. The Black Panthers remain a potent symbol of black power and radical inspiration, evoking strong emotions in many. This study examines the extraordinary staying power of the group in the American imagination, tracing their relationship with the media and how they articulated their message through symbols and tactics that captivated the mass media. By exploiting press coverage through various means, including posters, public appearances, and photo ops, the Panthers created a linguistic and symbolic universe that remains salient today. This book provides a breakthrough reconsideration of this phenomenon, featuring a timely new preface by the author.
