Publisher's summary

A major collection of essays and speeches from pioneering freedom fighter Angela Y. Davis.

For over fifty years, Angela Y. Davis has been at the forefront of collective movements for abolition and feminism and the fight against state violence and oppression. Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, the first of two important new volumes, brings together an essential collection of Davis’s essays, and speeches over the years, showing how her thinking has sharpened and evolved even as she has remained uncompromising in her commitment to collective liberation. In pieces that address the history of abolitionist practice and thought in the United States and globally, the unique contributions of women to abolitionist struggles, and stories and lessons of organizing inside and beyond the prison walls, Davis is always curious, always incisive, and always learning.

Rich and rewarding, Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises will appeal to fans of Davis, to students and scholars reflecting on her life and work, and to listeners new to feminism, abolition, and struggles for liberation.

Required reading

I will do my very best to spread this book to the people in my life. Although it handels a depressing subject, that of imprisonment and the prison industrial complex, I found the book incredibly engaging and inspiring. As I have absorbed the work narrated powerfully by Angela Davis herself, I have noticed a significant change in my view of the world and my place within it.

I highly recommend this book to all who have an open mind to receive it.

Because this is a collection of essays, there is some amount of repetition of ideas. This does not however impede the overall flow and cohesiveness of the collection.
