Assata: An Autobiography by Assata Shakur

challenging dark funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Throughout her autobiography Assata Shakur offers a radical analysis of interlocking systems of oppression and how they are upheld by the legal injustice system, policing, education and media. This book is as relevant as ever.

Despite the sobering topic and graphic content, Assata's sense of humor and no-bullshit attitude made this a highly entertaining read. I also found it inspiring and hopeful, particularly in regard to her views on activism and the struggle for liberation.
