- Social movements, Freedom, Civil rights, Human rights
En este amplio y brillante conjunto de ensayos, la reconocida y erudita activista Angela Davis expone las conexiones entre las luchas contra la violencia estatal y la opresión a lo largo de la historia y en todo el mundo, nos lleva de vuelta a la historia de los fundadores de la lucha revolucionaria y antirracista, pero también nos lleva hacia la posibilidad de la solidaridad y lucha interseccionales. Davis reúne en sus siempre lúcidas palabras nuestra historia y el futuro más prometedor de la libertad, haciendo hincapié en el papel que el pueblo puede y debe jugar. Teniendo en cuenta lo ocurrido en Ferguson recientemente y la continua agresión israelí al pueblo palestino, sus palabras resuenan hoy más que nunca. Davis discute los legados de las luchas de liberación anteriores, desde el movimiento de liberación negra hasta el movimiento contra el *apartheid* de Sudáfrica. Destaca las conexiones y analiza las luchas actuales contra el terrorismo estatal, desde Ferguson a Palestina. Frente a un mundo de injusticia indignante, nos desafía a imaginar y construir el movimiento por la liberación humana. Y, al hacerlo, nos recuerda que «la libertad es una batalla constante».
