The war before

by Safiya Asya Bukhari, Wonda Jones, Laura Whitehorn

>*The War Before* traces Bukhari’s lifelong commitment as an advocate for the rights of the oppressed. Following her journey from middle-class student to Black Panther to political prisoner, these writings provide an intimate view of a woman wrestling with the issues of her time—the troubled legacy of the Panthers, misogyny in the movement, her decision to convert to Islam, the incarceration of out spoken radicals, and the families left behind. - [publisher](https://www.feministpress.org/books-n-z/the-war-before)
