Assata: An Autobiography by Assata Shakur

dinasamimi's review

5.0

Powerful read. It is incredible to read this in 2021 when so much and so little has changed. I loved the poetry interspersed, the joint narratives of political evolution and imprisonment/prosecution, the glimpse into the NYC, Rikers, etc. of another era. Up there with Malcom X on political histories/manifestos.

Assata Shakur's autobiography is a great book not only to learn more about the New Afrikans freedom fighter that has inspiredAfrican women and African people across the diaspora to fight back againsr their oppression but also a great introduction point into the black panther party for self defense, socialism, and communism. Highly recommend
