Summary
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 antiapartheid 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."

Wish I read it earlier
Wish I read this book earlier in life as it perfectly articulates so many struggles I have been trying to find the words for. Everyone who believes in equality and justice needs to read this.

Queen Angela has spoken
Prof. Angela came with nothing but facts and decades of experience this time round. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting a more contemporary analysis of the necessary historical context in which we must frame our ongoing struggle toward liberation. She also boasts some really galvanising anecdotes to drive home the integral point of this book. Loved it.

Angela Davis, Revolutionary!
Every single humans and especially advocate/activist for social justice change must take in this book and the message behind it, if we are ever going to strive for real change.
To be alive in the same era as Angela is a privilege. Let’s learn together.

A Davis as a brilliant Scholes
These essays are good, but kind of to short. I want to know more on several topics here. More about Palestine, Assata Shakur, etc

A pioneer still ahead of the times
An honour to listen to Angela Davis use her expertise on today's (or the minute before today's) struggles. From early civil rights action to comprehensive feminist intersectionalism. She shows that previous generations not only can "catch up with the times", but can also move several leaps forward. I wish more intellectuals and activists from her generation could learn from her, update and expand their sense of compassion and freedom. It could do with a newer edition were she can share lectures or essays on the hellish panorama of the past couple of years. We could certainly learn from her what to do next.

Worldy, sobering, hopeful
Davis takes you around the globe to international struggles (and opportunities for solidarity) whilst intertwining her experience in America facing white supremacy head on. This book is hopeful, answers your questions before you have them and reminds you why we fight.
