''Die Nigger Die!'' is a 1969 political autobiography by the American political activist H. Rap Brown (now known as Jamil Abdullah al-Amin). The book was first released in the United States in 1969 (by Dial Press) and then in the United Kingdom in 1970 (by Allison & Busby). Brown describes his experiences as a young black civil rights activist and how they shaped his opinions of white America. He expresses his opinions on what he believes African-American, Black Americans need to do to break free from white oppression. As a chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and from 1968 a member of the Black Panther Party, he was heavily involved with organizations that espoused a Black Power ideology. After the subsequent conviction of Brown for murder in March 2002, the book was reprinted by Lawrence Hill, Lawrence Hill Press with a foreword by Michael Thelwell, Ekwueme Michael Thelwell.
