Want to Better Understand Socialism? New York Magazine recommends The Meaning of FreedomWhat is the meaning of freedom? Angela Y. Davis\' life and work have been dedicated to examining this fundamental question and to ending all forms of oppression that deny people their political, cultural, and sexual freedom. In this collection of twelve searing, previously unpublished speeches, Davis confronts the interconnected issues of power, race, gender, class, incarceration, conservatism, and the ongoing need for social change in the United States.

For readers who only see Angela Davis as a public icon . . . meet the real Angela Davis: perhaps the leading public intellectual of our era. --Robin D. G. Kelley author of Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American OriginalThere was a time in America when to call a person an \'abolitionist\' was the ultimate epithet. It evoked scorn in the North and outrag
