Just Another Nigger is Don Coxs revelatory, even incendiary account of his years in the Black Panther Party. He participated in many peaceful Bay Area civil rights protests but hungered for more militant action. His book tells the story of his work as the partys field marshal in charge of gunrunning to planning armed attackstales which are told for the first time in this remarkable memoirto his star turn raising money at the Manhattan home of Leonard Bernstein (for which he was famously mocked by Tom Wolfe in Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers), to his subsequent flight to Algeria to join Eldridge Cleaver in exile, to his decision to leave the party following his disillusionment with Huey P. Newtons leadership. Cox would live out the rest of his life in self-imposed exile, where he began writing these unrepentant recollections in the early 1980s, enjoining his daughter to promise him that she would do everything she could to have them publishedwith the title he insisted upon, a nod to W. E. B. Duboiss remark that In my own country, for nearly a century I have been nothing but a nigger.
