The poetry in between. It it unfinished as it should be. But this is a real look into how a revolution starts, and it is not easy.

If there's a syllabus on radical politics, Assata is at the top.
This autobiography covers two timelines: one of Assata's arrest, torture, and imprisonment and one of her childhood through early adulthood. Assata challenged my politics and pushed me to think more deeply about policing and prisons. It pushed me to think even more critically about news coverage and news bias, history books and historical bias. This was not an easy read, but it was incredibly worthwhile and rewarding.

This is a superb autobiography. Very similar in structure to the autobiography of Angela Davis. Also similar in the way that it charts the political development and the phoney State sponsored legal harassment of Assata. Highly recommended.

An incredible woman whose story shows how important it is to know our history.
