At 74 years old, Angela Davis is the living and breathing example of the reinvention of feminism. Black and Marxist. A philosopher and professor in Donald Trump’s USA. She recently visited Costa Rica and this Cuban university student reports on what she had to say.
Amir Valle is a writer, but sometimes he seems like a professor. When he speaks, he explains everything. A young person learns things. We bring you part two of our interview with him.
