I learned so much from this collection of speeches! Especially about the history and ideologies of Black radical movements of the 60s and 70s. I repeatedly found something I had considered historical fact or had only understood on a superficial level to be challenged and developed: for instance, I had never encountered a critique of the integration movement until this book. These speeches bridge a gap between dense theory and one-on-one conversation, without sacrificing complexity or passion. I highly recommend this to develop a more complicated understanding of Black history, and understanding of race, power, organizing and colonialism currently.

Points docked for random misogyny and the editing of this leading to a lot of repetition.
