A powerful collection of essays on justice, liberation, and the global fight for freedom.
In these newly collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression across history and around the world.
Reflecting on the importance of Black feminism, intersectionality, and prison abolition for today's movements, Davis explores the enduring legacies of liberation struggles—from the Black Freedom Movement to the South African anti-apartheid movement. She reveals the profound connections between contemporary movements for justice, from Ferguson to Palestine, demonstrating how seemingly separate struggles are bound together by shared histories, common challenges, and collective aspirations.
Drawing on decades of activism and scholarship, Davis argues that meaningful change is built through solidarity across borders, identities, and generations. Her essays challenge readers to rethink conventional ideas about freedom, democracy, and justice while offering a hopeful vision of movements working together to confront racism, inequality, mass incarceration, militarism, and state violence.
Both an urgent political reflection and an enduring call to action, Freedom Is a Constant Struggle reminds us that progress is never inevitable—it is created through courage, collective action, and an unwavering commitment to human liberation.
