Assata : an autobiography / Assata Shakur ; [forewords by Angela Davis and Lennox S. Hinds] by Shakur, Assata L. Hill Books, 2001.

ISBN:  9781556520747 (pbk.) Description:  xviii, 274 p. ; 24 cm. Notes:  Originally published: 1987. With new introduction. Summary:  "On May 2, 1973, Black Panther Assata Shakur, aka JoAnne Chesimard, lay in a hospital, close to death, handcuffed to her bed, while local, state, and federal police attempted to question her about the shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike that claimed the life of a white state trooper. Long a target of J. Edgar Hoover's campaign to defame, infilitrate, and criminalize Black nationalist organizations and their leaders, Shakur was incarcerated for four years prior to her conviction on flimsy evidence in 1977 as an accomplice to murder. This intensely personal and political autobiography belies the fearsome image of JoAnne Chesimard long projected by the media and the state. Assata Shakur recounts the experiences that led her to a life of activism and portrays the strengths, weaknesses, and eventual demise of Black and White revolutionary groups at the hand of government officials. Two years after her conviction, Assata Shakur escaped from prison. She was given political asylum by Cuba, where she now resides. The FBI is offering a reward of up to one million dollars for information directly leading to the apprehension of Joanne Chesimard."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Autobiographies.
