From the Author of WOMEN, RACE AND CLASS, this is a timely provocation that examines the concept of attaining freedom in light of our current world conflicts

In these newly collected essays, interviews and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world.

Reflecting on the importance of black feminism, intersectionality and prison abolitionism for today''s struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles, from the Black Freedom Movement to the South African anti-Apartheid movement. She highlights connections and analyses today''s struggles against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine.

Facing a world of outrageous injustice, Davis challenges us to imagine and build the movement for human liberation. And in doing so, she reminds us that ''Freedom is a constant struggle.''

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Angela Davis

Ícone da luta pelos direitos civis, próxima do grupo dos Panteras Negras, por duas vezes candidata à vice-presidência dos Estados Unidos, Angela Davis é uma das ativistas mais incómodas deste século e do anterior. Nascida na pobreza em 1944, descendente de escravos, uma bolsa permitiu-lhe ir para Nova Iorque e formar-se em Filosofia. No Verão de 1970, acusada de conspiração na fuga de três prisioneiros em São Francisco, ingressou na lista dos mais procurados pelo FBI; capturada, diabolizada pelas autoridades (mulher, negra, marxista), foi absolvida após um julgamento mediático e um forte movimento popular pela sua libertação. O combate à discriminação racial e às assimetrias sociais, a militância pelos direitos das mulheres e a saga pelo desmantelamento das prisões transparecem na sua vasta obra – na qual se destacam Women, Race, and Class (1981) e Are Prisons Obsolete? (2003) –, que denuncia formas de encarceramento humano e nos ensina a olhar para os calabouços do mundo.
