Rating: Summary: UPLIFTING, EYE OPENER, GREAT! Review: This book really touched me. Assata takes you through life as she experienced it. She's shows us how the "American-Dream" can really be the "American-Nightmare!" I admire the strength in this woman. I feel her pain and understand her struggle. This book is a must read. I read this book when I was 21. I am now 23. Since then I've had my 14 year old sister read it as well as my 17 year old sister. Assata, has inspired me in more ways than she will ever know. I am a published author with my own publishing company, but I truly believe Assata helped inspire me to fight for what I believe in. This is a book the whole world should read! Not only should it be read; it should be studied and understood! Assata is a great, strong, inspiring woman. I can only hope I'm lucky enough to meet her one day... God willing, I will!
Rating: Summary: assata is a beautiful woman Review: this book was an inspiration, a must read for anyone interested in the last great wave of revolutionary activity in the us. assata sees revolution as emanating from the pulse & soul of the community, not from leaders at the top or from some revolutionary catechism. i hope to be able to meet & pay my respects to her in cuba one day. i also hope she'll one day be able to return to a liberated united states. peace.
Rating: Summary: A great book for a young generation to read Review: This book was very inspiring and reassuring to me, at my young tender age of 21 I wonder what I will do with my life, sometimes to much, where I will go, what roles and parts I will play in this whole screenplay. Assata tells stories of her upbringing, which led me to cry, narrated her confusion and feelings of being incredibly lost. Sparks of intelligence and pride would fly in her, but she was unsure of where to go with them, if they were real, or how to harness them. Eventually she harnesses it and becomes one the most important revolutionaries in US history. This book shows that with action and hungry motivation for reform to come about, either in society or in an individual, something will happen, although not instantly. People have been reviewing this saying I wish there was more of this or more of that. But what must be understood is that this woman spent more than 10 years in jail, in solitary confinement, after that she fled to cuba for political asylum, it doesn't seem she could just sit down and write what she wanted when she wanted, especially details that could be used against those in the struggle.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: This has been the best book written on the Black Panther Party and the F.B.I.'s war against the party that I have ever read. I believe this is the strongest black woman I have ever had the pleasure of not meeting. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
Rating: Summary: Excellent! A true inspiration. Review: This is a great autobiography detailing the life of a great woman, a liberationist, a humanitarian, a true inspiration. It should be required reading in US history classes, by all students.
Rating: Summary: WOW!! Review: This is book is so powerful that is should be placed in place for every Black reader to read. It is so inspiring, uplifting, and, down right touching. If this book doesn't touch you then you do not have a soul. Please Read This!!!
Rating: Summary: It was an excellent written narrative of the Black struggle. Review: This is the best book I have ever read. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to know about the government's facade of a "big brother" to the minorities, in Amerika and in the Third World countries.
Rating: Summary: More Than a Woman Review: This is truly an excellent book and it shows the history of the struggle not only to defend racism but sexism as well. Assata does an excellent job and I found it hard to even put the book down once I start reading it. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a great book!
Rating: Summary: The most extraordinary book that I have ever read. Review: This was the best book I have read in my entire life. The way she writes makes you feel as if you are really walking through the corridors of her mind while she tells her horrible and terrifying story of how amerika has not served her the justice she deserves. The way she says things really makes you feel it. This was one of those books that I just could not put down. i reccomend it to all who can handle the way amerika treat Black and third World people.
