abitbetterbooks's review against another edition
I will say that the audio format made it a bit confusing to distinguish when a question was being posed and when Davis was answering in the interviews, but I loved hearing her narrate her own words. I do think because it’s separate occasions pieced together there is a bit of repetition but I think it mostly works and serves to drive home important points.
It’s sad because I do remember so clearly the period from which these writings and talks were from: not long after the Occupy movement, on the heels of groundbreaking activism in Ferguson and the heartbreaking loss of more Black lives like Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and Michael Brown. And yet this work is more relevant than ever.
I loved the way Davis drew large connections between global movements, and evoked the history of collective actions behind dismantling segregation, and South African apartheid, while discussing the current state of life in Palestine. I really would love a hard copy or ebook of this to mark up and highlight important passages!
