Book Reviews of Angela Davis: An Autobiography
Book Review: Fully Committed Humanity
Summary: 5 Stars
Angela Davis is an icon of the Black Liberation movement, currently a professor at the University of California. This book deals with her early life focusing closely on the period from the mid-60's to early-70's. During this period she was pursued and imprisoned by various US authorities, falsely accused of kidnapping, conspiracy, murder etc. This book is essential reading for anyone intrested in the politics of liberation both feminine and racial. The themes of state repression and intolerance come through repeatedly and the author comes across as fully committed to a freer, discrimination free vision of humanity. She makes no apologies for her politics, no excuses for others and does not retreat from her basis of equality for all. Overall a book with an unremittingly harsh theme but also one to inspire greater understanding.
