In light of the recent events taken place connected to the conflict between Israel & Palestine. THE DMC would like to host a book club, to read and understand different perspectives and shed light on the situation. We will be reading Angela Y. Davis' Book: Freedom Is A Constant Struggle

Synopsis:
In these newly collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world.

Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality, and prison abolitionism for today's struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles, from the Black Freedom Movement to the South African anti-Apartheid movement. She highlights connections and analyzes today's struggles against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine.

Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that "Freedom is a constant struggle."

ALL ARE WELCOME! Books are provided. Space is limited to 10 students. We honor our space and we honor each other, and want this club to be a safe space for everyone and everybody.
