Full Synopsis
In these newly collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world.

Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality, and prison abolitionism for today's struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles—from the black freedom movement to the South African antiapartheid movement. She highlights connections and analyzes today's struggles against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine.

Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that "freedom is a constant struggle."

"[Angela Davis'] passion about these matters resonates in her raspy voice, which reflects a fierce desire to call out those forces that would deny anyone freedom." ---AudioFile

"Davis's arguments for justice are formidable. . . . The power of her historical insights and the sweetness of her dream cannot be denied." ---New York Times
