Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement

Product Description 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.
