Angela Davis

description

Beginning in 1970 with her arrest in connection with a courtroom shootout, then moving through her trial and acquittal, the book traces Davis’s life and work during the subsequent decades and her influential career as a public intellectual. Profusely illustrated with materials found in the archive, including press coverage, photographs, court sketches, videos, music, writings, correspondence and Davis’s politicalwritings, the book also features interviews with Angela Davis and Lisbet Tellefsen, the archivist who collected those materials.
