Freedom Is a Constant Struggle

Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement

De: Angela Y. Davis

Narrado por: Angela Davis, Coleen Marlo

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."

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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)

Indispensable Listening for a New World

Davis's perspective on the interrelationship of the global struggles for peace, racial equity and freedom is crucial to any activist's or socially conscious individual's true understanding of what we need to address the ills of society.

Challenging and Spectacular

Davis' brillant book has challenged me to think deeply and broadly. I'm sure I will listen to this one several times. While the book introduced me to complex issues that I hadn't carefully considered before, such as transnational relationships of state violence, Davis' diction and historical references makes it possible for me to digest the problems and envision how I can advance my commitment to fighting oppression.

A peerless political activist

Miss Davis is a true intellectual who has put herself on the front lines countless times to ensure the understanding & progress of a more just society.

Great learning opportunity

The content is outstanding, and get even better because it is narrated by Angela Davis.

Yes.

Excellent listen. Always timely. Feeling well-informed and motivated to continue the good work. Will listen again and again for more pearls of wisdom.

Listen to Angela

Read it, listen to Angela, and learn! Revisiting her work or new to her work, this is a lovely collection of speeches she gave.

Informative

I enjoyed learning and unlearning things. Made me research things that I never knew about. This should easily be a required book in high school.

So many powerful points

Angela Davis speaks truth and makes us think about all areas of injustice, not just those in America. Is anyone listening?

Brilliant

A beautifully compelling and heart-wrenching series of speeches and interviews depicting the parallels between the struggle for Black liberation in the United States and Palestine. Angela Davis describes the essential importance of solidarity and intersectionality while gifting readers with the necessary resources (in the form of activists and movements to research as well as book and article titles) for a detailed understanding of the global fight for racial justice and equality. Another instant classic from Dr. Davis.

Eye Opener

Being honest I haven’t been well educated in African/Africa American studies, but this book is an AMAZING start!
