Resisting Injustice: Contemporary Views on Angela Davis is a groundbreaking collection of original essays that explores the life, work, and enduring impact of political activist, academic, and author Angela Davis. Edited by Sharon Lynette Jones, this multidisciplinary volume features contributions from fifteen scholars who examine Davis's legacy across fields such as art, education, economics, criminal justice, media, literature, philosophy, and music. Drawing from key thinkers in intersectionality and transnationalism---such as Kimberlé Crenshaw, Patricia Hill Collins, and Davis herself---Resisting Injustice highlights how Davis bridges past and present in pursuit of a more just future.

Building on Conversations with Angela Davis , also edited by Jones, this companion volume moves beyond biography to offer critical analyses of Davis's ideas and cultural representations. Chapters address how Davis's work continues to influence global conversations on race, gender, sexuality, incarceration, activism, and systemic injustice. Essays investigate Davis's connections to media narratives, archival materials, visual arts, musical histories, and teaching practices, offering readers a richly layered understanding of her intellectual and political contributions.

This timely volume fills a gap in Davis scholarship by providing expansive, interdisciplinary approaches that illuminate her role as a visionary educator, philosopher, and activist. With a "Selected Bibliography" and "Further Reading" section, it is an essential resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the global dimensions of social justice.
