'From the Prison of Slavery to the Slavery of Prison' : Angela Y. Davis’s Abolition Democracy Heiner, Brady Thomas 2007 Radical Philosophy Today , Vol. 5 , S. 219 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 1934-547X | 2154-1558 10.5840/radphiltoday2007512 Abstract
One of the most radical dimensions of Davis’s critique of American democracy is her exposure of the vestiges of slavery that remain in the contemporary criminal justice system. I discuss this aspect of her critical project, its roots in Du Bois’s critique of Black Reconstruction, and the way that it informs her prison abolitionism and her two-pronged program for the formation of a genuine “abolition democracy.” I conclude by reflecting upon Davis’s reticence about abolition as a constructive enterprise and assessing some of the challenges faced by the contemporary abolitionist movement.
