Description
Inspired by a private archive and including contemporary work by artists who acknowledge the continued relevance of Angela Davis's experience and politics, the essays, interviews, and images in Angela Davis provide a compelling and layered narrative of her journey through the junctures of race, gender, economic, and political policy.
Beginning with the arrest, trial, and acquittal of Davis from 1970 to 1972, and continuing through her world tour to thank those who joined in demanding her release and her influential career as a public intellectual, Angela Davis examines fifty years of history in light of the current political moment. Profusely illustrated with materials found in the archive—press coverage, photographs, court sketches, videos, music, writings, correspondence, and Davis's political writings—the book includes an interview with Angela Davis and Lisbet Tellefsen, the archivist who collected these materials. It also features essays that touch on visibility and invisibility, history, memory, and the iconography of black radical feminism.

LA Weekly praises the book as "profusely illustrated" and highlights its inclusion of interviews and essays on history and black radical feminism. Rebecca VanDiver in Woman's Art Journal calls it a "wonderfully illustrated scholarly catalogue" and a "treasure trove" that challenges understandings of Angela Davis. Artblog notes its relevance to racial justice activism and visual political expression, while Pendarvis Harshaw of KQED describes it as both "a piece of history and a piece of art."
