Empire at Home: A People's History of State Violence, Narratives and a License to Kill

The violence of the state never stays in the shadows. It always comes home.

On the night of December 4, 1969, the American state shed its pretense of democratic neutrality when it executed 21-year-old Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in his bed. It was not a "gun battle," but a clinical political hit-the foundational act of a new era of domestic repression.

In this provocative genealogy of power, the "unseen apparatus" of state control is traced from the bullet-riddled apartments of Chicago to the blood-stained dormitories of Jackson State. Drawing on the methodologies of Howard Zinn and Edward Said, Empire at Home exposes how the state's successful campaign to crush the revolutionary Left created a "moral vacuum" and a "precedent of impunity" that would eventually be mirrored by the radical Right.

Through a chilling narrative arc, this work reveals the direct, bloody line connecting the unpunished crimes of 1969 to the sieges at Ruby Ridge and Waco, culminating in the shattering concrete of Oklahoma City. It argues that the violence perfected in imperial wars abroad-the surveillance, the no-knock raids, and the military-grade force-inevitably returns to the center, transforming domestic dissenters into internal enemies.

Empire at Home is more than a history; it is a demand for clarity. It is a call to break the "silence of the state" and to recognize that the struggle for justice is a single, interconnected fight against a power that seeks to rule through terror.

"A devastating exposure of the architecture of American violence."

Autorenporträt

About the Author

Yellaboy comes straight outta 9•22•12 Yuck Town, where the truth walks with a limp and survival ain't a metaphor. A street prophet turned revolutionary writer, he speaks for the silenced, exposes the system, and puts the empire on trial page by page.

Unpolished. Unapologetic. Unafraid.

His works, Street Sermon: Breaking Chains to Change and Fred Hampton: Unity and Struggle, ain't books they're war cries, sermons for the oppressed, gospel for the unplugged. Inspired by Fred Hampton's vision and sacrifice, Yellaboy writes with fire for the forgotten, building bridges between the block and the battlefield.

He's the one you don't hang out with...

but damn sure glad he's on your side when the shit goes down.
