ReviewsManisha Sinha,Author of The Counterrevolution of Slavery One of the most historically significant autobiographies from the civil rights era. No historian of the civil rights movement will be able to write about this period without consulting this indispensable book. Written in the language and from the heart of African America, it is also an immense stylistic achievement., William Julius WilsonLewis P. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor, Harvard University Fascinating...one of the most engaging and interesting autobiographies I have ever read. The struggles of the civil rights movement and Carmichael's vision of social justice come alive in this important contribution to social history., Howard ZinnAuthor of A People's History of the United States I knew Stokely as a brilliant, charismatic, and courageous figure in the Southern movement against racism. He was a thinker of extraordinary vision and a fighter of unequalled courage. We should welcome his autobiography as told to his friend Mike Thelwell., Mary KingFormer SNCC worker and author of Freedom Song Located midway between Gandhi and Lenin, Stokely engendered fierce love from his fellow SNCC workers -- something inexplicable to onlookers who reviled him. No one seriously interested in the U.S. civil rights movement should be without this book. The provocative is made plain, the enigmatic clarified, and the elusive becomes sensible -- with Stokely's unique voice, wit, and verve., Robert A. HillEditor in chief of The Marcus Garvey & Universal Negro Improvement Association Papers and professor, UCLAStokely Carmichael has bequeathed to us what is sure to become one of the great American autobiographies -- the story...of a time when Americans, black and white, men and women, believed they could remake their America. With amazing humor, tempered by real humility, Ready for Revolution represents...what is surely the defining story of the American century.
