In 2013 Assata Shakur, founding member of the Black Liberation Army, former Black Panther & godmother of Tupac Shakur, became the first ever woman to make the FBI`s most wanted terrorist list. Assata Shakur`s trial & conviction for the murder of a white state trooper in the spring of 1973 divided America. Her case quickly became emblematic of race relations & 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 & suppress black nationalist organizations. This intensely personal & political autobiography reveals a sensitive & gifted woman, far from the fearsome image of her that is projected by the powers that be. With wit & candour Assata recounts the formative experiences that led her to embrace a life of activism. With pained awareness she portrays the strengths, weaknesses & eventual demise of black & 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 & the works of Maya Angelou. ...

Assassination Vacation

Transporting us from Buffalo to Alaska, Washington to Key West, Vowell has crafted a narrative that is much more than a historical travelogue - it is the disturbing and mesmerising story of how American death has been manipulated by popular culture, including film, literature, and - the author`s favourite - historical tourism. Skilfully belying the undercurrents of loss and violence that course through her journey, Vowell injects a range of lighter detours along the way, including mummies, show tunes, mean-spirited totem poles, a nineteenth-century biblical sex cult - and exactly how Lincoln`s Republican Party became Bush`s Republican Party. Assassination Vacation is a fascinating, informative, and richly entertaining look at the myriad ways in which political assassinations
have altered and shaped our nation`s history.
