What a powerful collection of essays/transcribed speeches that explore intersectional topics that, as Dr. Davis aptly states, demonstrate how the struggle for freedom and justice is multifaceted. Time and time again, I’m always in awe of how eloquent Dr. Davis is when she weaves different issues together to show how interconnected everything is. It’s not an easy task by any means, but Dr. Davis is one of the few scholars/activists out there who does a phenomenal job with this, in my opinion. Furthermore, it’s done in such a fashion that isn’t unnecessarily esoteric.

Something that struck me about this collection was how many of these issues we often discuss—feminism, racism, colonialism, and so on—can all be tied to the prison-industrial complex and the need to abolish prisons. As someone who is still learning more about the prison abolition movement, this was really eye-opening and felt like a great starting point to ease into other books that place more focus on the movement. Dr. Davis’ words throughout this collection left a profound impact and I feel encouraged to learn more.
