The Scholarly Road Not Yet Taken: A Preliminary Postmodernist Anarchist
Analysis of the Black Panther Party

Ashanti Alston

What would an analysis of the BPP look like through the lens of
postmodernism and anarchism? What would be its highlights? Marxism as
Metanarrative? Racialized Commodification? Imperialism versus
Neo-liberalism? Hegemony? Hierarchy? In this 3-session class, Ashanti
Alston intends to bring out why he feels a postmodernist and anarchist
analysis and style can help bring new understandings to age-old, stubborn movement problems. Alston will focus on the BPP and the strengths and limitations of the movements of that period. What about our current period is so different from any other period in Babylon? If power belongs to the people in the struggle for self-determination and revolution, then what helps to preserve the integrity of this?

Ashanti Alston is a former Black Panther/BLA prisoner. Member of Estacion Libre, Critical Resistance, Institute for Anarchist Studies
