Angela Davis: An Autobiography by Angela Y. Davis

5.0

I wasn't expecting to be unable to put this book down. I absolutely loved Angela Davis' narrative voice, the way she hooks you in, easy to comprehend but not simple or lacking nuance in any way, and the genius structure of the book, putting us in the present moment of the narrative before taking us back to her early adolescence and educational journey that led to her full-time activist work... each section containing a thought-provoking epigraph and metaphorical title that I found myself returning to after reading the section to really grasp its multiple meanings. Ultimately, one of my favorite written works. I learned so much. I will not stop thinking about it, for a long time.
