'Assata speaks to all of us'
Angela Davis, from the foreword'Her writing in consistently defiant
and witty ... Her hindsight and observations are vital in a society
that's still stuck on how to live together ... essential reading
for every political thinker concerned with race, and for every
activist who is interested in creating a movement that grows.'
Reni Eddo-Lodge, author of Why I'm No Longer Talking to White
People About Race
'A deftly written book . . . A spellbinding tale.'
The New York Times'Of all the great memoirs to come out of the
Black Power Movement (Angela Davis, Bobby Seale, Amiri Baraka, Nina
Simone), Assata is my favorite. I draw a lot of inspiration
from the Black Power Movement, and the way that she describes her
activism is overflowing with passion and heart.'
Zackary Drucker'A sober, restrained, but forceful recollection. ...
A must book for those interested in the 'revolutionaries' of the
1960s'
Choice'A compelling tale of the impact of white racism on a
sensitive and powerful young black woman.'
