About this listen

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."

The actual content of this book is incredible. Angela Davis is an amazing person and writer BUT it’s been recorded with some kind of automation that means it’s missing the first sound of nearly every sentence. It sounds like she’s hiccuping the whole time and is hugely frustrating. I can’t listen to it because of this.
