Recenzii
“Orissa
Arend’sShowdown
in
Desireis
a
fascinating
story
that
documents
the
history
of
the
Black
Panther
party
chapter
in
New
Orleans.
The
author’s
objective,
which
she
accomplishes,
is
to
allow
former
participants
to
tell
the
story
of
the
New
Orleans
Panthers
to
provide
a
more
holistic
perspective
of
the
party
and
the
issues
(racism,
police
brutality,
and
poverty)
that
it
combated.
In
addition,
the
author
tells
this
story
to
generate
greater
awareness
of
a
post-Katrina
New
Orleans
that
is
still
ravaged
by
the
same
problems
that
the
Panthers
fought
forty
years
ago.
One
of
the
standout
features
of
this
work
is
that
Arend
uses
over
twenty
interviews
to
help
tell
the
story
of
the
New
Orleans
Panthers.
Arend’s
interviews
range
from
former
Panthers
to
high-ranking
city
officials
to
police
officers
(including
two
who
infiltrated
the
party).
Furthermore,
the
work
fills
a
void
in
the
historiography
on
the
Black
Panther
party,
as
very
few
works
examine
southern
chapters
of
the
party.”

“An
illuminating
look
at
the
Black
Panther
Party’s
history
in
New
Orleans,
the
turbulent
racial
climate
of
New
Orleans
in
the
1960s,
and
the
founding
of
the
local
party,
which
was
committed
to
challenging
discriminatory
white
political-power
structures.”

“An
admirably
researched
manuscript
that
illuminates
an
important
yet
overlooked
chapter
of
African
American
history
in
New
Orleans.”

“Orissa
Arend
has
done
her
homework
.
.
.
she
has
managed
to
help
disseminate
and
preserve
the
legacy
of
the
Black
Panther
party,
more
specifically,
the
New
Orleans
chapter.”

“Orissa
Arend
has
forced
us
to
see
these
self-defense
militants
from
every
point
of
view
imaginable.
Moving,
informative,
and
in
places
side-splittingly
funny,Showdown
in
Desirerestores
to
Technicolor
memory
a
chapter
of
civil
rights
history
too
often
neglected.
The
book
deserves
a
wide
audience.”
