Phillips's new book, Black Panther Woman: The Political and Spiritual Life of Ericka Huggins, delves deep into issues ranging from strategies of political and personal resistance, to the history of women in the Black Panthers, to the challenges of biographical writing and innovative approaches to the practice.
