Abolition Democracy by Angela Davis
Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture
A penetrating critique of the prison-industrial complex that situates abolition within a broader struggle for a more democratic and equitable society, linking historical anti-slavery movements to contemporary resistance against racialized policing, mass incarceration, and imperial violence. It argues that dismantling carceral systems requires building alternative institutions and social supports—education, healthcare, community accountability—and mobilizing cross-sector coalitions to address root causes like racism, capitalism, and state power. Combining political analysis, historical context, and strategic vision, the work frames abolition as a project of democratic transformation rather than mere dismantling.
