"The book is a powerful study of the specific intersection of oppressions that black women experience in the imperialist United States, a country built on slavery, as well as the fundamental role that black women have played in spurring on the movement for black liberation. Davis demonstrates how white supremacy, male supremacy and class exploitation interact with each other and create a triad of dominion that upholds and reinforces the global system of oppression and social inequality to this day. She shows these systems to be so intrinsically linked that one cannot be ended without simultaneously fighting for the fall of the others. The book’s core arguments are backed by Davis’ extensive research. The inclusion of personal stories from slaves and key figures from the movement give a human face to some of the victims of these atrocities, and provides the emotional weight that runs through the book, in a way other historical accounts don’t. Davis’ writing style is eloquent, clear and concise, making it an enjoyable and accessible read. The book manages to sew a thread through the colossal history of black struggle and tie it up into a comprehensible bow for the reader." [1]
