The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

A powerful and commanding account of the life of trailblazing political activist Angela Davis, this book details her journey from a childhood on Dynamite Hill in Birmingham, Alabama to one of the most significant political trials of the century: from her political activity in a New York high school to her work with the U.S. Communist Party, the Black Panther Party, and the Soledad Brothers; and from the faculty of the Philosophy Department at UCLA to the FBI’s list of the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. Told with warmth, brilliance, humour and conviction, this autobiography is a classic account of a life in struggle with echoes in our own time.
