Angela Davis: An Autobiography
An expanded new edition of Angela Davis's autobiography, featuring a major new introduction by the author.
Angela Y. Davis has been a political activist at the cutting edge of the Black liberation, feminist, queer, and prison abolitionist movements for more than fifty years.
First published in 1974 and edited by Toni Morrison, Angela Davis: An Autobiography is a powerful and commanding account of Davis's early years in struggle. Davis describes her journey from childhood on "Dynamite Hill" in Birmingham, Alabama, to one of the most significant political trials of the century. She sketches the arcs from her political activity in a New York high school to her work with the U.S. Communist Party, the Black Panther Party, and the Soledad Brothers, and traces her path from the faculty of the Philosophy Department at UCLA to the FBI's list of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.
Told with warmth, brilliance, humor, and conviction, Angela Davis's autobiography is a classic account of a life in struggle.
