Assata: An Autobiography

Assata a woman of strength and endurance. I took my time reading this because it was about someone's life and her struggles. We have not conquered the woes of this book. The journey has not ended. Love is still a word a lot of people do not know.

This autobiography is pretty good! The structure and format of it is unique and I came to appreciate it, eventually. It wasn't really as informative as I would have liked it to be, but really inspiring nonetheless.

This book was beautifully written and whether you agree with Assata or not you feel like you are in the cell with her. You can see her as a little Brown girl at beach in North Carolina. I really enjoyed the way she would took turns with each chapter telling about how she became a revolutionary in chapter and the would tell her court cases. It was a great read!

Assata's biography is one filled with compassion and innocence. She speaks from a soul of great triumph and rebellion. Media has depicted her as an evil convict yet this autobiography contradicts those beliefs.

Assata writes very plainly, yet effective. She doesn't do a bunch of overkill with fancy vocabulary (which I've seen in other similar revolutionary bio's) words but gets her point across. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

"The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave." #staywoke

food for thought. I really enjoyed reading this book. hearing her story left me with a lot of questions and led me to research, wanting to learn more. I normally do not read autobiography's, but I'm glad I read this one.

excellent book every black person in america should read! She is wanted for 2million dead or alive . very brave and strong. she mentions tupacs mom and step dad. this book was written long before he became a star. great story and one of my favorites.
