In these newly collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world.

Faced with a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and build a movement for human liberation. In doing so, she reminds us that "Freedom is a constant struggle."
