Dzieła

Stanowisko

Davis’s thought joins the Frankfurt School’s critical theory with the Black liberation movement. “Women, Race and Class” is a history of American feminism from abolitionism onward, showing how the suffrage movement abandoned Black women, how the myth of the Black rapist served lynching, and how reproductive rights have meant something different for women subjected to forced sterilisation. From her own imprisonment she developed a critique of the “prison-industrial complex”: prisons grow not because of crime but because they absorb people whom deindustrialisation and racism have made surplus, and they make social problems disappear from view. Abolition means building the institutions that would make prisons unnecessary.

Życie i kontekst

Angela Davis (born 1944 in Birmingham, Alabama) studied at Brandeis with Herbert Marcuse, in Frankfurt with Adorno and Horkheimer, and in San Diego again with Marcuse. Dismissed from UCLA in 1969 for her membership of the Communist Party, she was placed on the FBI’s most-wanted list in 1970, imprisoned for sixteen months and acquitted of all charges in 1972. She taught at the University of California, Santa Cruz, until 2008.
