More About This Book

Overview

This presents the life story of African American revolutionary Shakur, previously known as JoAnne Chesimard.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
This black activist's memoir is like a freeze frame of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Though the polemical rhetoric is dated, the book is an otherwise compelling tale of the impact of white racism on a sensitive and powerful young black woman. Born Joanne Chesimard, she took an African name to confirm her commitment to black liberation, joined militant organizations, and was ultimately convicted of the murder of a New Jersey highway patrol officer in 1977. Her descriptions of life in prison and the vagaries of the court system are especially wrenching. Living now in Cuba as an escaped felon, she continues her utopian plea for revolution. Recommended for large libraries and specialists. Anthony O. Edmonds, Ball State Univ., Muncie, Ind.

    An Amazing story

    Whith this autobiography Assata gives us all a very profound look inside the BPP. She also tells of the painful and demorilizing of all she went through for her race and equality of all races. With reading this book i could only feel guilty of all the sacrifices others has made for me and other people in this country. I only wish i could have cotributed to the movement.....Its a great read A great book!!

    Black Power

    Assata's words were so meaningful and deep I found myself traveling into her world. She faced a life that I could have never imagined. I am a 19 year old Black female and her words were like a wake up call..

    Fight the Power!!!

    This book is among the best ever written, to chronicle the life of someone so smart and beautiful is amazing. To have that person be yourself is another thing. Assata Shakur is my role model and should be a lot of young females' too. Not just black females I mean all females!!!

    It's a hell of a book

    This book is outstanding and motivating to anyone of African-American heritage. It shows the struggle of one's life going through something that she shouldn't have been blamed for. Being imprisoned and even becoming pregnated while being in jail, going back and fourth to court, trying to keep hope alive, checking up with the doctor. This book will encourage anyone who reads it to stay strong and keep hope going. Even as she lives in Cuba now in exile because of what had happened she will always be remembered.

    the woman inside us all

    This book is one of the greatest ever written. It is talking to all women of color who have struggled in a society not built for us, black nor female. She as a person has now become my hero.

    Great Book

    Assata Shakur tells it the way it is in that book. And me being a young Black female in times like this makes me somewhat happy not to have had witnessed the wickedness the oppressive whites had against Blacks in those late 60's and early 70's. Assata has gone through good and bad and worse times, but all in all she escaped all the drama and lives at a more suitable enviornment. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!

    revolutionary for the new age

    This book is excellant. It tells how the real amerikkka was and how it still is. Shakur shows how the U.S. does how political prisoners and how herself a political prisoner was treated.
