Why read it?
1 author picked Freedom Dreams as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Any book that wants to think about liberation in new and nuanced ways has to be in conversation with Robin Kelley’s book. I see Kelley as the OG of insurgent history! His writing is clear, cutting, and visionary.
He examines what it might look like to imagine a world of possibility for race, reparations, justice, and community. The struggle for Black liberation continues, and this book is a roadmap of where we have been and where we might go.
Any reader will find his writing to be both provocative and profound.
From Kellie's list on black resistance to white supremacy with a path toward liberation.
