With a rise in both anti-racist movements and reactionary racism, what can we learn about the current moment from Huey Newton’s analysis of empire? What do calls to “take back control” tell us about the diminishing ‘wages of whiteness’? And how can we build on the legacies of the Black Panther Party’s survival programmes to create intercommunal ways of living?
