Stalinism and the Black Panther Party

Join Politics Professor Joe Pateman as he examines how the Black Panther Party selectively incorporated Stalinist political elements, from its ideological commitments to its organizational practices, as well as its influence on the Party’s leadership structure, internal discipline and the rise of Huey Newton. This discussion offers an engaging perspective on the complexities of the Party’s political evolution and invites audiences to rethink a pivotal movement in modern history.
