Wanted more from this! Maybe it was because the audiobook was so poorly done

While I love when the author reads their work for an audiobook, I think this one is best read in print. I will be on the lookout for a copy. It was a bit repetitive but otherwise very interesting and helpful. All our struggles are connected and this book gives evidence.

“It is in the collectivities that we find reservoirs of hope and optimism.”
This is a beautifully powerful collection of speeches, interviews, and essays that everyone should read. In theme with Davis’ main argument the topics and discussions here are still deeply relevant to current and future issues. Especially when looking at the genocide in Palestine, and how that is an ongoing issue connected to all other liberation movements. The emphasis on the intersectionality of each struggle for freedom is a critical message to understand to allow us to think in broad root causes. The discussion of individual thinking in regards to both people and movements was very impactful and really helped put at lot of current issues in context for me.

This is a great read. Listening to it as an audiobook was not my preference as some of the interviews were a little difficult to follow. Davis draws connections between movements across the world for freedom; exploring through interviews and speeches the foundations of global movements.
