摘要：
A piece of writing which challenges and exposes the hegemonic power structure, can he categorized as Resistance Literature. An autobiographical narrative seeks to register the personal experiences of the writer with the objective of correcting the false history, awakening the reader's consciousness and continuing the struggle against the oppressive powers. The present paper discusses Elaine Brown's A Taste of Power: A Black Woman's Story as a resistance narrative against racial discrimination, gender bias and Capitalism. Brown challenges the racial ideology prevalent in America through the detailed description of Police brutality. Starting with violent resistance, Brown shifts to Socialist Revolution to fight against the bigger monster of Capitalism. The paper also throws light on Elaine Brown's autobiography as a feminist text which exposes and resists the sexist and patriarchal ideology within the Black Panther Party.
