If They Come in the Morning: Voices of Resistance by Angela Y. Davis

5.0

These are short, emphatic pleas for justice that both encapsulate a very specific moment in history and ring true today. Written over 50 years ago, this collection is powerful and moving and hopeful - with an aching twinge that Im sure my radical contemporaries share with me. We have lost ground on so many fronts; the tyranny that began to blossom under the Nixon and Reagan administrations has reached unprecedented levels. Whats more, many voices of resistance have been silenced, subdued, or imprisoned.

In the face of this reality, it would be easy to throw in the towel, but these essays, poems, and speeches call to respond ever stronger in the face of unbridled oppression. It is now or never. It is always now or never. 5/5
