A powerful and commanding account of the life of trailblazing political
activist Angela Davis. Edited by Toni Morrison and first published in
1974, An Autobiography is a classic of the Black Liberation era which
resonates just as powerfully today. Long hard to find, it is reissued
now with a new introduction by Davis, for a new audience inspired and
galvanised by her ongoing activism and her extraordinary example. In
the book, she describes her journey from a childhood on Dynamite Hill in
Birmingham, Alabama, to one of the most significant political trials of
the century: 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 from the faculty of the Philosophy
Department at UCLA to the FBI's list of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives.
Told with warmth, brilliance, humour, and conviction, it is an
unforgettable account of a life committed to radical change.
