Assata Shakur does this with pinpoint precision, does not mince her words once, but brings simultaneously such empathy and humor. It's a rare text that illuminates the love and care in revolutionary movements. Specifically shedding the preconceived notions from the state & media about the Black Panthers & Black Liberation Movement, but also notes criticism to how the movements fell apart (though the blame is mainly rested on COINTELPRO as it should be).
This is an essential text I believe, and one I will be returning to often. What may bring me back the most, is the incredible poetry scattered throughout, the opening poem in particular.

Sometimes I wished the writing style was tighter.my favorite parts are when she talks about her close relationships. She clearly has such love for the people close to her.
