There are books you should read, books that you will enjoy reading,
and books that will educate you. Rarely does one book do all three.
The Autobiography of Angela Y. Davis is one of those books
*Marcus Ryder*
[A] rare book that even almost 50 years later feels timely and
relevant. Maybe too relevant, considering how little has changed in
the interim
*Los Angeles Times*
She has eyes in the back of our head. With her we can survive and
resist
*John Berger*
Davis's arguments for justice are formidable. . . The power of her
historical insights and the sweetness of her dream cannot be
denied
*The New York Times*
Angela Davis has stood her ground on every issue important to the
health of our people and the planet. It is impossible to read her
words or hear her voice and not be moved to comprehension and
gratitude for our incredible luck in having her with us
*Alice Walker*
