Description:
Random House, 1974. First Edition, First Printing. An ex-library copy. A true first with Random House "2" in the number line. Book is square and binding is solid. Red cloth with black lettering on spine shows some tape residue, remainder mark on top edge but otherwise in nice condition. The interior pages are surprisingly crisp and bright, unmarked save for a library stamp on the title page and a library pocket on rear end paper. The dustjacket is price-clipped with a library sticker on spine and some wear at extremities. Presents well in a protective Demco mylar cover. "For my family, my strength, For my comrades, my light...And especially for those who are going to struggle until racism and class injustice are forever banished from our history." Carefully packaged and shipped in sturdy cardboard box.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1974. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/good +. First Edition. Hardcover. This presentable first printing of Angela Y. Davis' landmark account of her life as one of the 1960s' most iconic Black activists comes from the library of the late influential Jewish lesbian feminist, theorist, activist, and scholar Dr. Bette S. Tallen (1950-2023). Angela Davis: An Autobiography was first published and edited by Toni Morrison in 1974, and this iconic autobiography tells the story of Davis' work at the frontlines of Black Liberation, feminist, queer, and prison abolitionist movements, her work with the Black Panther Party, the U.S. Communist Party, and the imprisoned Soledad Brothers, to her professorship at UCLA's Philosophy Department to becoming one of the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives. This is an admittedly worn, ex-library first edition, first printing, with notable provenance, honoring two influential lesbian activists, both Dr. Angela Y. Davis and Dr. Bette S. Tallen, showing… Read more
