In 1971 in New York, a photo of a white woman raising a gloved fist sitting on the lap of a black man in a green military jacket and a black beret raising a fist, sitting in a rattan chair, made by an unknown photographer, was published in on the cover of ‘Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers’ by Tom Wolfe.
“In [Tom Wolfe’s] semifictional account [published in New York magazine on June 8, 1970], “Radical Chic,” Wolfe depoliticized the Party’s support, portraying the Black Panthers as hustlers cashing in on their street credentials by catering to the exotic tastes of the superaesthetic elite. In November [1970], Wolfe republished the essay in book form, adding the related essay “Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers.”” (Bloom 2016, 351)
This specific cover appears to be from a 1971 edition.
