How did a beautiful, talented college student fall in love with a man serving twenty-to-life for murder? Why did she marry him? At a time when one in four black men is caught in the web of the criminal justice system, Asha Bandele shatters the myths of prisoner's wives and tells a story of the beauty of love even in the ugliest of circumstances. Whether she is describing her restricted but romantic courtship with Rashid, when letters were like dates, or riding the bus upstate with the other wives and girlfriends, Bandele creates haunting images and reflections so powerful and unique that they beg to be reread and savoured. At the same time that she recalls the ups and downs that accompany a relationship that is constantly scutinized by guards and surveillance cameras, she confronts the secrets and sadness in her past and comes to terms with hersilf as an African-American woman and a prisoner's wife. A gifted poet, Asha Bandele has written an extraordinarily candid book that resonates with poetic language and abundant insight. - Häftad, Engelska, 2005

TIME Magazine''s "Best Memoirs of 2018 So Far."O, Oprah’s Magazine’s “10 Titles to Pick Up Now.”Politics & Current Events 2018 O.W.L. Book Awards WinnerThe Root Best of 2018"This remarkable book reveals what inspired Patrisse''s visionary and courageous activism and forces us to face the consequence of the choices our nation made when we criminalized a generation. This book is a must-read for all of us." - Michelle Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The New Jim CrowA poetic and powerful memoir about what it means to be a Black woman in America—and the co-founding of a movement that demands justice for all in the land of the free.Raised by a single mother in an impoverished neighborhood in Los Angeles, Patrisse Khan-Cullors experienced firsthand the prejudice and persecution Black Americans endure at the hands of law enforcement. For Patrisse, the most vulnerable people in the country are Black people. Deliberately and ruthlessly targeted by a criminal justice system serving a white privilege agenda, Black people are subjected to unjustifiable racial profiling and police brutality. In 2013, when Trayvon Martin’s killer went free, Patrisse’s outrage led her to co-found Black Lives Matter with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi.Condemned as terrorists and as a threat to America, these loving women founded a hashtag that birthed the movement to demand accountability from the authorities who continually turn a blind eye to the injustices inflicted upon people of Black and Brown skin.Championing human rights in the face of violent racism, Patrisse is a survivor. She transformed her personal pain into political power, giving voice to a people suffering inequality and a movement fueled by her strength and love to tell the country—and the world—that Black Lives Matter. When They Call You a Terrorist is Patrisse Khan-Cullors and asha bandele’s reflection on humanity. It is an empowering account of survival, strength and resilience and a call to action to change the culture that declares innocent Black life expendable.

The Prisoner''s Wife is a beautiful story about love that overcomes every obstacle and thrives against all odds. “A powerful and provocative book—everyone should read it.” —Angela Y. Davis “Romantic but realistic…told with a directness and honesty.” —Booklist, starred review “Mesmerizing and disconcerting, offering insights into why caged birds sing.”—Kirkus Reviews As a favor for a friend, a bright and talented young woman volunteered to read her poetry to a group of prisoners during a Black History Month program. It was an encounter that would alter her life forever, because it was there, in the prison, that she would meet Rashid, the man who was to become her friend, her confidant, her husband, her lover, her soul mate. At the time, Rashid was serving a sentence of twenty years to life for his part in a murder. The Prisoner''s Wife is a testimony, for wives and mothers, friends and families. It''s a tribute to anyone who has ever chosen, against the odds, to love. - E-bokEngelska, 2010

Daughter, a penetrating novel by Essence editor Asha Bandele and chosen by Black Issues Book Review as Best Urban Fiction for 2003, follows a young woman through life that changes in one night from a horrific incident with police brutality.At nineteen, Aya is a promising Black college student from Brooklyn who is struggling through a difficult relationship with her emotionally distant mother, Miriam. One winter night, Aya is shot by a white police officer in a case of mistaken identity. Keeping vigil by her daughter''s hospital bed, Miriam remembers her own youth: her battle for independence from her parents, her affair with Aya''s father, and the challenges of raising her daughter. But as Miriam confronts her past—her losses and regrets—she begins to heal and discovers a tentative hopefulness. Moving between past and present, the novel builds to a dramatic, heart-wrenching but ultimately redemptive conclusion. Daughter is a novel that appears to be about police brutality, but police brutality is only the landscape. The heart of the story is about the silence between generations--the secrets mothers keep from their children in an effort to protect them. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2027

A memoir of a man and a movement, here is a defining and never-before-shared contribution to the story of Black PowerFreedom Fighter is the searing, urgent story of an elder statesman of Black political activism—whose story has never been fully told until now.A recently freed political prisoner who served a thirty-three-year sentence, Sekou Odinga is the co-founder of the New York Black Panther Party chapter and the person responsible for liberating fellow Black revolutionary Assata Shakur from prison in 1973, allowing her to escape to Cuba—where she still lives.Written in collaboration with celebrated author asha bandele, Freedom Fighter explores Odinga’s political awakening, his years in struggle as a member of the Black Panther Party in the United States and Algeria, his role in the Black Liberation Army, and his decade living underground as a soldier fighting to end America’s war against Black people—before his capture, torture, and imprisonment by the U.S. government. Odinga’s story excavates some of the most important Black-led organizing and political strategies of our lifetime, which laid the foundation for radical Black organizing, advocacy, and culture for decades to come. For listeners of the Mother Country Radicals podcast and readers of Albert Woodfox’s National Book Award finalist Solitary, this biography of a man and a movement is required reading for all who seek to truly understand the modern age of Black struggle. - Häftad, Engelska, 2019

#BlackLivesMatter - Ein bewegender Einblick in den Kampf gegen Rassismus und Diskriminierung in den USADer gewaltsame Tod des Afroamerikaners George Floyd im Mai 2020 löste weltweit Bestürzung und Wut aus. Doch diese Wut ist nicht neu, ebenso wenig wie die Tat selbst: Rassismus und rassistische Gewalt bestimmen das Leben Schwarzer Menschen in den USA seit Jahrhunderten. In #BlackLivesMatter erzählt Patrisse Khan-Cullors eindringlich davon.Die Bürgerrechtsbewegung #BlackLivesMatter entstand 2013, als sich nach einer Reihe rassistisch motivierter Morde überall im Land Menschen vernetzten, die die Verhältnisse nicht mehr hinnehmen wollten. Patrisse Khan-Cullors, eine der Mitbegründerinnen, schildert ihre von Angst, Armut und Demütigungen geprägte Kindheit und Familiengeschichte. Dank Literatur und Kunst konnte sie sich aus der Hoffnungslosigkeit befreien und fand zu einem leidenschaftlichen Engagement für Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit.#BlackLivesMatter ist ein zutiefst persönliches und zugleich politisches Buch, das die Dringlichkeit des Kampfes gegen Rassismus und Polizeigewalt eindringlich vor Augen führt. Ein Plädoyer für Emanzipation und Gleichberechtigung aller Menschen, unabhängig von Hautfarbe, Herkunft oder sexueller Orientierung. - E-bokSpanska, 2021

Este libro de memorias poético y poderoso narra lo que significa ser una mujer negra en Estados Unidos y la cofundación de un movimiento que exige justicia para todos en «la tierra de los libres».Criada en un barrio empobrecido de Los Ángeles, Patrisse Khan-Cullors experimentó de primera mano el prejuicio y la persecución que sufren los afroamericanos a manos de las fuerzas del orden. Acosados deliberada y despiadadamente por un sistema de justicia penal que funciona según la agenda de privilegios de los blancos, los negros están sometidos a una categorización racial injustificable y a la brutalidad policial.En 2013, cuando el asesino de Trayvon Martin quedó libre, la indignación de Khan-Cullors la llevó a cofundar Black Lives Matter con Alicia Garza y Opal Tometi.Condenadas como terroristas y consideradas una amenaza para Estados Unidos, crearon una etiqueta que dio origen al movimiento para exigir responsabilidades a las autoridades que hacen la vista gorda ante las injusticias infligidas a las personas negras. Cuando te llaman terrorista es un relato empoderador de supervivencia, fuerza y resiliencia. - Häftad, Engelska, 2020
