For three decades, Angela Y. Davis has written on liberation theory
and democratic praxis. Challenging the foundations of mainstream
discourse, her analyses of culture, gender, capital, and race have
profoundly influenced democratic theory, antiracist feminism,
critical studies and political struggles.
Even for readers who primarily know her as a revolutionary of
the late 1960s and early 1970s (or as a political icon for militant
activism) she has greatly expanded the scope and range of social
philosophy and political theory. Expanding critical theory,
contemporary progressive theorists - engaged in justice struggles -
will find their thought influenced by the liberation praxis of
Angela Y. Davis.
"The Angela Y. Davis Reader" presents eighteen essays from her
writings and interviews which have appeared in "If They Come in the
Morning, Women, Race, and Class, Women, Culture, and Politics, "
and "Black Women and the Blues" as well as articles published in
women's, ethnic/black studies and communist journals, and cultural
studies anthologies. In four parts - "Prisons, Repression, and
Resistance," "Marxism, Anti-Racism, and Feminism," "Aesthetics and
Culture," and recent interviews - Davis examines revolutionary
politics and intellectualism.
Davis's discourse chronicles progressive political movements and
social philosophy. It is essential reading for anyone interested in
contemporary political philosophy, critical race theory, social
theory, ethnic studies, American studies, African American studies,
cultural theory, feminist philosophy, gender studies.
