The title, which is capitalized in the text, is the name of a long-planned movement of Blacks to take over Manhattan with similar plans in cities throughout the country. The plot is explicitly based on the writings of Che Guevara. The emphasis of the novel is on the dystopia of Black and Chicano life, the planned takeover, and its temporary success. No depiction of the society the movement hoped to create.
