Short book but took a little while longer to finish to capture her ideas! Never meant someone whose life wasn't changed by reading her work. Great interview collection.
A very good primer on Angela Davis’ background with incarceration and her thoughts on politics and prisons, prisoner torture, and where we go as a country to come to a reckoning on the prison system and our role in international affairs. It’s told in a series of interviews and is a really quick read and pairs well with the Netflix documentary 13th.

A must read for everyone. Everyone. Everyone. Everyone. The relevance of Davis’ book many years after its publication reveals the lack of critical thinking and discourse to develop in the post-9/11 surveillance police state. Davis has such a profound temperature gauge on the American psyche and of its imperialism through the nation’s past, present, and future. But, most importantly, Davis in her philosophy and examination deeply and relentlessly admits the humanity that binds us all beyond the fabrication of militarized borders and sense of falsely nationalized selves.
