Freedom Is a Constant Struggle

“It is easy to feel discouraged and simply let go. There is no shame in that. We are, after all, engaged in a struggle that seems, if we look at it using a mainstream political framework and through a mass media prism, unwinnable. On the other hand, if we take a step back, look at things from a broader angle, reflecting on what is happening all over the world and the history of struggle, the history of solidarity movements, it becomes clear, sometimes even obvious, that seemingly indestructible forces can be, thanks to people's willpower, sacrifices, and actions, easily broken.”

A very readable collection of interviews and speeches from Angela Davis. There is some repetitiveness in this volume because the speeches were intended as standalones that then became consolidated, but it's not getting fewer than four stars because it's Angela Davis.
