Book Description
 
With her characteristic brilliance, grace and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for
the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly
notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these
struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. For generations of Americans,
the abolition of slavery was sheerest illusion. Similarly,the entrenched system of racial segregation
seemed to last forever, and generations lived in the midst of the practice, with few predicting its
passage from custom. The brutal, exploitative (dare one say lucrative?) convict-lease system that
succeeded formal slavery reaped millions to southern jurisdictions (and untold miseries for tens of
thousands of men, and women). Few predicted its passing from the American penal landscape.
Davis expertly argues how social movements transformed these social, political and cultural
institutions, and made such practices untenable.In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks
to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for
"decarceration", and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole.
