The friend I mentioned referred me to Stokely 
Carmichael (Kwame Turé)'s autobiography. I don't 
have a copy handy, but here is a review that 
briefly discusses the infamous "quotation." I 
suggest that people check the book out, rather 
than relying on hazy 40-year-old memories. --PG

Book Review

Ready for Revolution
By Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture)
Scribner, 2003, 848 pp.

Review by Mark Engler & Paul Engler

Many would dispute the idea that nonviolence had 
been exhausted in 1964. But within a few years, a 
new generation of civil rights activists would 
move to the forefront, advocating a distinctly 
un-Gandhian brand of militancy. Chief among them 
was Stokely Carmichael, whose autobiography, 
Ready for Revolution, was just published-five 
years after his death-with the help of his 
friend, writer Michael Thelwell.

Even the stories that have defined his image 
within activist circles are often off-base. On 
the organizer's behalf, Thelwell convincingly 
argues that Carmichael's infamous sexist remark 
(answering "prone" to a question about the place 
of women in the movement) was a joke taken out of 
context. Mary King and Casey Hayden, the supposed 
targets of the quip, defend Carmichael as being 
one of the men in SNCC most sympathetic to their 
criticisms of patriarchy within the organization.
