The work of the political activist inevitably involves a certain tension between the requirement that positions be taken on current issues as they arise and the desire that one's contributions will somehow survive the ravages of time," writes Angela Davis in the introduction to this remarkable collection. "In this sense the most difficult challenge facing the activist is to respond fully to the needs of the moment and to do so in such a way that the light one attempts to shine on the present will simultaneously illuminate the future.'
Whatever their political perspective, readers of Women, Culture, k Politics will agree that Davis has more than met the challenge. Ranging from the prisons to the Pentagon, from the dilemmas of third-world women to those of children under apartheid, these recent writings and speeches display the keen insight into—and beyond—contemporary issues that has earned her universal regard as one of our most incisive and forward-looking social critics and activists.
"Behold the heart and mind of Angela Davis: open, relent-
less, and on time! She is as radiant, she is as true, as that
invincible sunrise she means means means to advance with all of the faith and all of the grace of her entirely devoted life."
—June Jordan
