author, A Nation Within a Nation: Amiri Baraka and Black Power Politics 
“Buy this book and study it well. Eric Mann was my first teacher in the Black freedom movement. He is training a new generation of organizers and setting the pace for the Battle of New Orleans.“

author, The Darker Nations: A Peoples History of the Third World 
“Mann has a distinct talent for drawing political lessons from historical events. Every movement needs a map. Katrina’s Legacy takes us to the ravaged Gulf Coast and helps us find a road towards a Third Reconstruction. America needs this movement and Eric helps us find our way.“

editor, Black Agenda Report
“Eric Mann places the Gulf Catastrophe in the historical context of racist, capitalist rule in the US at a critical time when the cracks in the ruling class are visible for all to see. Mann provides political leadership, the outlines of a plan for action, and calls us to our battle stations.“
