Description

Angela Y. Davis presents a major new collection of essays and interviews that challenge our understanding of prison systems. Spanning over fifty years of activism, this first volume brings together essential writings on the evolution of her thought, tracing the genealogy of the penal system from slavery to the modern prison industrial complex. Davis offers a trenchant analysis of the relationship between prisons and capitalism, both in the US and globally, drawing on decades of analytical brilliance and lessons from organising inside and outside prison walls. This powerful collection is essential reading for anyone seeking to imagine a world without prisons, filled with insight and provocation.
