sydapel's review against another edition

hopeful informative

Obviously, Angela Davis is an incredibly foundational figure in our efforts to organize community led movements and I've needed to read this for years. However, for my white friends who (like me) think of this as something to check off your list in order to feel better about your role in oppressive cycles at play in America and throughout the world, this is a starting point for further, more in depth reading and reflection. Overall though, this expertly reenforces how movements to end discrimination, genocide and hate start and stop with well organized collective action, even when it disrupts our sense of normalcy.

Reading a book written in 2015, with speeches from 2013, while its all still relative in 2023 is a bit jarring.
