Angela Y. Davis
In this collection of essays, interviews, and speeches, the renowned activist examines today’s issues—from Black Lives Matter to prison abolition and more. Activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis has been a tireless fighter against oppression for decades. Now, the iconic author of Women, Race, and Class offers her latest insights into the struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world. Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality, and prison abolitionism, 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 a movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that “freedom is a constant struggle.” This edition of Freedom Is a Constant Struggle includes a foreword by Dr. Cornel West and an introduction by Frank Barat.

"Reading/listening to far left progressives(even when I agree with ‘some’ of their views)can be so exhausting. I literally don’t want to hear the word abolish again lol. I think Angela Davis is a smart and brave activist but gosh this book seemed to be a never ending cycle. The topics were all over the place and I don’t like when there’s no pragmatism or realism to policies or world views. I need them to realistically explain how we can achieve some of these things because some of it was giving delusional especially with the current world political climate. I did like the transnational intersectional struggle aspects and thought that was more interesting and real than most of the book. I’m glad this book was short because I did not have the time for it. <br/><br/>2.5/5 ⭐️"
