When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by asha bandele, Patrisse Khan-Cullors
5.0
“it’s hard to be intimate with someone when you are being intimate with the world.”
there is something so special about reading a memoir, this was so intimate, and we need to hear those stories to heal and understand the world we live in.
i peeped some reviews when i was reading and man…. it’s so f’d up to me that some people will read someone’s life and their trauma and expect them to say this is “xyz-ism” at play. Patrisse Khan-Cullors did an amazing job at contextualizing policy and systemic issues while explaining her life.
I really appreciate Angela Davis’s forward too, adding more to how the label of terrorist and terrorism is used to discredit movements from here to Palestine.
