Angela Davis is a gift. Wholly informative, and not a wasted word. This is such a powerful read, and provides much needed context and perspective on the struggle of the Palestinian people and the globalization of the Black liberation movement. She emphasizes the importance and impact of intersectionality, not just as individuals, but in a larger sense, the intersectionality of struggles.

Angela Davis writes, “just as we say ‘never again’ with respect to the facism that produced the Holocaust, we should say ‘never again’ with respect to apartheid in South Africa and in the Southern U.S.. That means, first and foremost, that we will have to expand and deepen our solidarity with the people of Palestine, people of all genders and sexualities, people inside and outside prison walls, people inside and outside of the apartheid wall.”

Each interview and speech enclosed in this collection is as important and poignant as the last.
