Review of 'Angela Davis--an autobiography.' on 'Goodreads'

Sometimes dry but always convincing, Davis speaks straight from the trenches of class-struggle to tell her tale of an upbringing in "Bombingham" Alabama, her successful academic career, time in Europe, and transformation into a revolutionary and icon. Like all good revolutionaries, she skips over juicy details about love affairs or gossip, but she gives an inside look to the politics of the black panthers and moreover how difficult it was to pick a side when you were fighting for equality in the 60's. Years later, this woman still has the power to make you outraged about the way we treat race in America.

Also a must-read for those interested in prison reform.
