Reviews

""In this luminous work, Ada C. M. Thomas honors Abbey Lincoln—Aminata Moseka—as an artist, truth teller, and liberated Black woman. With scholarly care and deep respect, Thomas traces a life of courage, faith, and uncompromising artistry that calls us to pursue dignity, justice, and soulful possibility for every future generation."" - Johnnetta Betsch Cole, author of Racism in American Public Life: A Call to Action ""Spiritual Abbey, intellectual Abbey, political Abbey, Abbey the poet, Abbey the radical, Abbey the genius. Thomas's intimate and lyrical portrait of an artist who contains the multitudes is a riveting and moving portrait of an artist at work, evolving and dynamically crafting her vision across an epic and transformative wonder of a career. Meditative and illuminating, Aminata is essential reading."" - Daphne A. Brooks, author of Liner Notes for the Revolution: The Intellectual Life of Black Feminist Sound
