I liked the speeches a bit more than the interviews, just in terms of flow, but overall a phenomenal collection. would definitely recommend!

Very good collection of essays/interviews. Seeing how these words, despite being nearly or more than a decade ago, are still applicable to today is... a lot. I wish that there had been some more commentary or slightly more varied topics selected - they start to get repetitive if you're listening to it all at once.

Angela Davis reads the audiobook herself and I highly recommend reading this book that way as it’s a collection of her interviews and speeches.
I believe the biggest takeaways of this collection is that of collectivism. We cannot think of social justice issues as just happening in the United States, but rather we need to connect them to the same social justice issues happening around the world. We are all interconnected and we need solidarity among us all. The more we can relate to issues happening in other countries, the more we can make sure it doesn’t also happen here.
Davis also makes the case against individualism regarding accountability. Yes, we need to hold individuals accountable, but we also need to look at the systems in place. For example, putting a singular cop in jail is not going to fix the police brutality problem because it’s a whole system.
All in all, the main takeaway from this book is intersectionality, community, and collectivism.

Freedom is a Constant Struggle was such an amazing and enlightening read, and I'd recommend it to pretty much everyone who wants to learn more about the topics of racism, classism, and undoing generations of such issues. I really enjoyed reading about how consent is manufactured by governing bodies through media to change public opinion, I definitely learned a ton by reading Angela Davis's thoughts and opinions. A great and informative read!
