Review of 'Point Is to Change the World' on 'Goodreads'

An insightful series of writings that range from the "scholarly" to the very personal about Andaiye's work as part of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, Red Thread (a women's org), her struggles with cancer, Walter Rodney's death, the Grenada revolution and other subjects. I didn't know much Caribbean history or background beforehand but the book was good at explaining or providing context. The writings themselves are generally easy to understand, hard hitting and well structured, like the book itself which is broken up in 4 or 5 main topics.
