Freedom Is A Constant Struggle

Thought provoking, impactful, intellectual. For the content of these excerpts: 5/5! The individual speeches/interviews repeat a few passages over and over, which you may find useless, but for one, those important points needed to be made on multiple occasions, so two collecting those occasions in a book leads to repetition, but three the repetition actually helped me understand better. In terms of the audio book I thoroughly enjoyed being read to by Angela Davis herself, it’s almost like hearing her talk in person. I just wish the questions by interviewers would’ve been read by someone other than her, because at times I found it hard to distinguish who’s line is being read. Can recommend reading all of these individually as well as in this book format.

The book is the collection of interviews, essays and speeches given by Angela Y. Davis in and around 2014. As the title already states, Davis is discussing how people have been struggling for their freedom in a very wide range (emancipation, civil rights movement, feminism, marriage equality) and she consistently connects the dots between these movements in order to explain how similar mechanism are at play no matter were you are in the world and that we can all learn from each other.
