This monograph from Gary Beegan, Donna Gustaff and the Zimmerli Art Museum details the visual legacy of abolitionist philosopher and activist Angela Davis. When Davis was put on trial in 1970 as an accessory to the murder of a judge and three defendants in a courtroom shooting, she became a de-facto figurehead for the Black Panther Party. Seize the Time examines how Davis' image was used in high and low culture to both defame and uplift the struggle for Black liberation. On top of being a fascinating treatise on the relationship between politics and images, Seize the Time is also a useful introduction to Davis' political thinking.
