Eldridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice is a powerful collection of essays written from prison, exploring race, masculinity, sexuality, and revolution in 1960s America. Through raw, confrontational prose, Cleaver examines his own transformation and critiques American racism, offering insights into the Black Power movement and the psychology of oppression. The book becomes both personal testimony and political manifesto, capturing a moment when rage and hope coexisted in the fight for Black liberation.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Cleaver refused to soften his anger or make white readers comfortable. Soul on Ice reminds us that the most important voices are often the angriest, and that understanding oppression requires listening to those who've lived it, even when their words make us uncomfortable.
