Great book, and Angela Davis just further radicalizes me against capitalism, imperialism, racism, sexism, and the injustices of the world. One of the few times I think the audiobook was just as good, or better as it would have been written, since this book is a collection of Angela Davis' speeches and interviews she's given over a timeframe. These speeches generally were themed, and about the protests in Ferguson Missouri, the oppression of Palestine, the prison industrial complex, or black feminism. She has an amazing ability to weave all these topics together throughout her interviews and speeches, and to make them all linked. Truly a powerful and inspiring collection of speeches. I definitely want to read more of her, and I also want to read more about the authors/activists she mentions, such as Assata Shakur, Michelle Alexander, and a few others. By the time I finally bought this I had picked it up so many times at the bookstore and lingered over it. But I am finally getting to it today thanks to the Juneteenth Readathon. I don't often take notes while reading unless the book is for a book group or buddy read, but I have a page of notes from this -- facts that shocked me (Nelson Mandela was on U.S. terrorist watch list until 2008!) and lines that wowed me. Don't let the small size of this book fool you -- it packs a lot of punch. And systematically -- against oppression everywhere and not letting itself be pinned down to an individual person, place, or institution. I really need to read more by Davis. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In these newly collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world. Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality, and prison abolitionism for today's struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles, from the Black Freedom Movement to the South African anti-Apartheid movement. She highlights connections and analyzes today's struggles against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine. Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that "Freedom is a constant struggle."
