Angela Davis - Uma Autobiografia

A leading figure in the fight for civil rights, Angela Davis is one of the most controversial activists of this century and the last. Born into poverty in 1944, a scholarship allowed her to go to New York and study philosophy. In the summer of 1970, accused of conspiracy in the escape of three prisoners in San Francisco, she was placed on the FBI's most wanted list; captured and demonized by the authorities (woman, black, Marxist), she was acquitted after a media trial and a strong popular movement for her release. Focusing on the genesis of her activism and the awakening of a social conscience, AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY transports us to the social struggles of the 1960s and 70s in the USA through the eyes of one of the leading activists of our time.
