The Meaning of Freedom: And Other Difficult Dialogues (City Lights Open Media)

by Angela Y. Davis

Description

This incisive collection brings together essays and conversations examining what freedom means in a world shaped by racism, economic inequality, gender oppression, incarceration, and war. It challenges narrow ideas of liberty by connecting personal experience to broader struggles for racial justice, prison abolition, feminism, and transformative social change. Drawing on decades of activism and scholarship, the work invites readers to see freedom not as an abstract ideal, but as a collective project requiring sustained political engagement and difficult dialogue. Provocative and accessible, it offers a powerful framework for understanding the unfinished work of liberation.
