Freedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement by Angela Y. Davis

challenging dark sad medium-paced

4.25

It’s a collection of speeches from 2013-2015 so there was a lot of repetition of topics and anecdotes. If you are already a year into radical leftist activism, much of what’s said will feel familiar. There were a couple moments of impressive facts presented where I wanted more sources provided, though I appreciate this was a speech transcript. But even some added footnotes would have been nice. I could hear an imagined someone wanting to pick apart a fact by saying where did she get such and such historical evidence. 

Overall, I came away from the book with a better grasp of how Palestine, Black liberation and indigenous justice are interrelated.
