Found You In the Whirlwind

with the Rookery Press

Recovering Lost and Forgotten Lessons Across Eras of Struggle

We are pleased to welcome members of the Rookery Press to talk about their publishing project and about the knowledge they are committed to surfacing.

The Rookery Press is a new publishing house that is dedicated to the task of unearthing and sharing works that have been suppressed and forgotten. The Rookery Press is committed to ensuring that this information becomes accessible. Their mission is to make available these lost and forgotten works and provide a new perspective on history, politics, and culture.

Their newest book is The Collected Works of the Black Liberation Army, Vol. I, a collection of revolutionary literature penned by militants of the Black Liberation Army, an armed aspect of the Black revolutionary underground that debuted in 1970.

As a deliberate consequence of the enemy state’s political repression against the BLA much literature and communications from this time have been lost. The Rookery Press has sought a number of these precious writings and reproduced them into this volume. Included are the Black Liberation Army dictionary and study guide, the essay “Organize for New Afrikan People’s War”, and dozens more primary documents produced during the BLA’s life.

Note: This event is on a Tuesday (a day we are not normally open).
