I want to hear Davis speak SO BADLY. She so clearly illuminates connections between the international struggles against oppression. Chapter 8 was particularly impactful for me.

This was a great read for anyone who's interested in the intersectionality of issues such as prison abolition, racism, and international justice in places like Palestine. As it is more a collection of speeches, some points were repeated in multiple contexts and the examinations of certain issues weren't as in depth as they may be in other sources. But this was a good introduction to some of these issues for anyone new to them, and contained important reminders and inspiration for anyone more well-versed. If you're looking for something a bit less heavy that will help inspire you to action or give you a jumping off point for what else to learn, I would recommend this.

This was an amazing collection of essays and interviews. Davis is great at having conversations about intersecting all struggles to bring awareness to everything and everyone that needs support.

Angela Davis is brilliant. This work makes me want to be more of an activist than I am. This book is essentially a collection of speeches Angela Davis has given over the years and each one was different while somehow touching on the same topics throughout. Our world is so intertwined. If you want to work toward changing the status quo, start with this book.

While I love when the author reads their work for an audiobook, I think this one is best read in print. I will be on the lookout for a copy. It was a bit repetitive but otherwise very interesting and helpful. All our struggles are connected and this book gives evidence.

This book collects some of Davis’s speeches and essays, alongside interviews with her. Since all of the collected materials are from within the same time period, the book can feel a bit repetitive at times, but a lot of Davis’s points are still impactful.
