This was my introduction to Angela Y. Davis's work, and as a collection of interview transcripts and speeches, it certainly captures the throughline - and intersections - of her activism and scholarship. In reading these together, her emphasis on the interconnectedness of our liberation and the collectivism of our struggle is so apparent. Most impactful for me personally was her repeated reminder that movements do not need heroes and her insistence on crediting the work of the many often unseen and unrecognized resisters. Her voice is one we need in this moment, and I look forward to reading more of her original work.
