Soul on Ice

Eldridge Cleaver

Synopsis:
A classic of 20th century African-American thought, "Soul On Ice" is the late Eldridge Cleaver's powerful collection of autobiographical essays on race and culture....Originally published in 1968, "Soul On Ice" shocked, outraged, and ultimately challenged the way America saw the civil rights movement and the Black experience. Written while Cleaver, the former Black Panther Minister of Information, was in California's Folsom State Prison, this collection of searingly honest autobiographical essays explores the author's own difficult history and larger issues such as the assassination of Malcolm X and the turbulence of the 1960s. "Soul On Ice" gives intelligent, insightful testimony to the author's political views, venting his frustration with--and anger at--American society in the wake of the civil rights movement's first wave.
