An Uneasy Equilibrium: The African Revolution versus Parasitic Capitalism by Chairman Omali Yeshitela is an explosive, visionary new book that will have profound influence on the worldwide movements of African and oppressed peoples for generations to come.
Capitalism was born in disrepute, Chairman Omali passionately asserts, born of the rapes, massacres, occupations, genocides, colonialism and every despicable act humans are capable of inflicting.
An Uneasy Equilibrium mobilizes African workers to act now to seize political power - nothing short of the complete unification and liberation of Africa and African people everywhere.

From the day he tore down the racist mural from the City Hall in St. Petersburg, FL in 1966, Chairman Omali Yeshitela (then known as Joseph Waller) has never stopped fighting for justice for African people everywhere. Politicized in his youth by the revolutionary movements around the world and the struggle for black liberation inside the U.S., Yeshitela dedicated his life to uniting and liberating Africa and African people everywhere. In the heat of revolutionary struggle and years in prison for his political work, Yeshitela was driven to discover the reasons why black people all over the world are impoverished and oppressed. Yeshitela developed the political theory of African Internationalism that understands the world through the eyes of the African working class. Through African Internationalism the Chairman exposes the significance of Marx's concept of primitive accumulation of capital, which Marx called the starting point of capitalist accumulation, playing in political economy about the same part as original sin in theology. Breathing life into Marx's analysis, Yeshitela noted that African Internationalism recognizes that the process of slavery and brigandage that consolidated the political economy, national identity and general well-being of what came to be known as Europe is the same process that results in the wretched, divided, impoverished and exploited lot of Africans and much of the world. Yeshitela contends that the leading force of struggle is the African and oppressed working class throughout the world against "parasitic capitalism," built on enslavement, genocide and colonialism. In 1968 Chairman Yeshitela founded The Burning Spear newspaper which is still published today. Throughout the years Yeshitela has authored numerous articles, pamphlets and books, including Omali Yeshitela Speaks and Quotations From Chairman Omali Yeshitela. In 1972, Yeshitela formed the African People s Socialist Party which he chairs. He built the worldwide Uhuru Movement and the African Socialist International now active in the U.S., Europe, on the Continent of Africa and in the Caribbean. Some of the most critical and legendary campaigns of the African community over the past 40 years have been led by Chairman Omali and the Uhuru Movement.
Brilliant discussion of the history, philosophical orientation and actions of the Party. Offers a compelling description and explanation of imperialism while challenging the usefulness of traditional Marxist understanding.
An insightful description of the civil rights leaders and their role in the struggle. Addresses practically every idea/action involved in struggle. Raises a host of questions and makes an equal number of assertions.
