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.
