An Autobiography by Angela Y. Davis

5.0

More about a memoir of her experience in trials and jails, this book exhibits how Angela Davis, the author, is now known as one of the socialist anti-Black-racist activist. Throughout the book she constantly argues for socialist approach in ending the racism in the US and imperialism elsewhere in the world. She also examines the inhumanly prison industrial complex through her own experience living one after another. Within our capitalistic world, this book remains relevant and important despite being written way back in 1974. Why are we still holding on to a system that hurts the unprivileged the most? Are we human really that helpless, or are we being overtly skeptical?
