In 2013 Assata Shakur, founding member of the Black Liberation
Army, former Black Panther and godmother of Tupac Shakur, became
the first ever woman to make the FBI's most wanted terrorist list.
Assata Shakur's trial and conviction for the murder of a white
State Trooper in the Spring of 1973 divided America. Her case
quickly became emblematic of race relations and police brutality in
the USA. While Assata's detractors continue to label her a ruthless
killer, her defenders cite her as the victim of a systematic,
racist campaign to criminalize and suppress black nationalist
organizations. This intensely personal and political autobiography
reveals a sensitive and gifted woman, far from the fearsome image
of her that is projected by the powers that be. With wit and candor
Assata recounts the formative experiences that led her to embrace a
life of activism. With pained awareness she portrays the strengths,
weaknesses and eventual demise of Black and White revolutionary
groups at the hands of the State. A major contribution to the
history of black liberation, destined to take its place alongside
The Autobiography of Malcolm X and the works of Maya Angelou.
