James and Grace Lee Boggs
Book Description
Here's how Ossie Davis described his first encounter with the writing of James and Grace Lee Boggs: "I was recharged, my batteries were full, and I was able to go back to the struggle." In the decades since it was first published in 1974, this book has been celebrated as part of an "essential" body of work, in Robin D.G. Kelley's words, for commitments to "the transformative power of struggle, and [to] understanding the epoch we’re in and the one we are desperately trying to birth."
