An Autobiography: Angela Y. Davis

A powerful and commanding account of the life of trailblazing political activist Angela Davis

In the book, Davis describes her journey from a childhood on Dynamite Hill in Birmingham, Alabama, to one of the most significant political trials of the century: from her political activity in a New York high school to her work with the U.S. Communist Party, the Black Panther Party, and the Soledad Brothers; and from the faculty of the Philosophy Department at UCLA to the FBI's list of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.

Told with warmth, brilliance, humor, and conviction, Angela Davis's autobiography is a classic account of a life in struggle with echoes in our own time.
