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."

Davis' brillant book has challenged me to think deeply and broadly. I'm sure I will listen to this one several times. While the book introduced me to complex issues that I hadn't carefully considered before, such as transnational relationships of state violence, Davis' diction and historical references makes it possible for me to digest the problems and envision how I can advance my commitment to fighting oppression.

A beautifully compelling and heart-wrenching series of speeches and interviews depicting the parallels between the struggle for Black liberation in the United States and Palestine. Angela Davis describes the essential importance of solidarity and intersectionality while gifting readers with the necessary resources (in the form of activists and movements to research as well as book and article titles) for a detailed understanding of the global fight for racial justice and equality. Another instant classic from Dr. Davis.
