Review: GREAT READ - Such a great book. Thoroughly enjoyed reading about Assata’s life from childhood to an adult. Most of us are aware of how much the police and system in America continually oppress minorities. But it will always be an eye opener when it was so overt in the past and how people were treated and how so much people have overcome. I’ve recommended this book to all my friends and want to also buy the hard copy.
Review: Great storytelling from a phenomenal woman - The book was on my wish list for a long while, and it's only after she passed away that I bought it. I heard of Assata Shakur from Common's song A SONG FOR ASSATA back in 2000, yet I'd never really taken an interest in finding out more. In 2026, the world is in turmoil, and reading her accounts of the abuse she suffered from the US government, I can see how imperialism, capitalism, and racism are evil oppressive systems. The book led me to learn about the My Lai massacre and subsequently, COVER UP (Seymour Hirsch documentary on Netflix), as well as the injustice African Americans have to endure in a land that is as much as theirs as their European counterparts. Going back in forth between her childhood, teenage years, and her time in incarceration, sprinkled with beautiful poems, you get a glimpse of a beautiful mind and a resilient human being. Assata Shakur is a survivor. She is a phenomenal woman, and she told her story perfectly well, articulate, poignant, vivid, introspective, and fascinating. We must, as a human race, learn to love each other and stop exploiting one another. This is how I felt when I read the last word of her biography.
