How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
4.0
First: With this and How We Go Home (an oral history book on indigenous north america) I think I've come to realize I'm really into oral history books. Maybe it's that they remind me of interview podcasts? Regardless, it's been a pleasant surprise.
Second: This book is great. The Combahee River Collective Statement, which opens this book, is an incredible document. Concise, easy to understand, unambiguously anti-racist and anti-patriarchal of course, but also anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, quotable in it's entirety and a must read. It is then followed by very enjoyable and insightful interviews with its authors and other relevant actors in black feminist activism.
