For many people, Angela Davis is, first and foremost, an icon of the 1960s, a near-mythic figure of that turbulent era and the many radical social causes we now associate with those years. She has spent five decades writing about racial capitalism, the political economy, woman and the prison–industrial complex. However, behind the icon and the image is a longer and more complicated story, one that today has important lessons for social workers and other activists alike. This article will trace her personal history, examine her political trajectory, provide an overview of a few of her principal writings and briefly discuss her connection with the theory and practice of social work.

A relação entre segurança pública e racismo está no cerne do texto de Andréa Pires Rocha, que se propõe a pensá-los como pilares sustentadores do Estado burguês, proporcionando diversas reflexões acerca do capitalismo e das práticas punitivas no Brasil. Amparada em importantes referenciais teóricos da filosofia política, das ciências sociais, da literatura e da criminologia crítica, a autora transita entre categorias como singularidade, particularidade e universalidade, nas matrizes do materialismo histórico-dialético de Marx, para tecer uma severa crítica à sociabilidade burguesa e seus desdobramentos no campo da segurança pública, marcada pelo racismo estrutural. Dialoga, então, como os escritos de Michelle Alexandrer (2017), Magali da Silva Almeida (2014), Angela Davis (2018), Lélia González (1984), Silvio Almeida (2018), Abdias Nascimento (2016), Ana Flauzinha (2008), Juliana Borges (2018), Alessandro Baratta (1999), David Garland (2014), Loïc Wacquant (2001 e 2013), George Rusche e Otto Kirchheimer (2004), além de Erick Williams (2012), Frederick Engels (1984) e Lênin (2007), numa interessante interface teórica entre os estudos sobre raça e a criminologia crítica, que a leva à construção de sólidos argumentos em torno dos temas da segurança pública e do racismo. O texto aponta elementos importantes para pensar o Estado capitalista como um Estado historicamente penal, sustentado pelo princípio burguês da segurança, que estabelece uma relação simbiótica com o racismo, opressão fortemente estruturada no capitalismo.

Two driving features of Black feminism are care and collectivity. This article considers them as vectors for Christian preaching. I focus on a specific speech event that involves Alice Walker, Angela Davis, and June Jordan, and treat it as a case study for Black feminist preaching. Ultimately, I propose a triptych approach to preaching that entails layering sermonic messages, accommodating dissonance, and foregrounding mutuality.

At Home

Rather than write a classic biography of James Baldwin in the last cycle of his life—from his arrival in 1970 as a black stranger in the all-white medieval village of Saint-Paul, until his death there in 1987—I sought to discover the author through the eyes of people who knew him in this period. With this optic, I sought a wide variety of people who were in some way part of his life there: friends, lovers, barmen, writers, artists, taxi drivers, his doctors and others who retained memories of their encounters with Baldwin on all levels. Besides the many locals, contact was made with a number of Baldwin’s further afield cultural figures including Maya Angelou, Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Angela Davis, Bill Wyman, and others. There were more than seventy interviews in person in places as distant as Paris, New York or Istanbul and by telephone spread over four years during the preparatory research and writing of the manuscript. Many of the recollections centred on “at home with Jimmy” or dining at his “Welcome Table.”

This concluding chapter discusses how Black Lives Matter and related groups are struggling with many of the same questions that animated the Panthers. Political activist Angela Davis suggests that the demands of the Black Panther Party's (BPP) Ten-Point Program are just as relevant—or perhaps even more relevant—in 2016 as during the 1960s, when they were first formulated. In identifying the problems facing the residents of places such as Ferguson as both systemic in nature and endemic to the everyday operation of the American state, these contemporary movements have embraced a version of the Panthers' domestic anticolonialism. In doing so, they have sought to avoid the patriarchal and hierarchical leadership structure that contributed to the downfall of the BPP while also downplaying the emphasis on anticolonial violence that characterized the early years of the party.

The conclusion foregrounds the claim that the artists whose artwork is the focus of Addressing the other woman – Adrian Piper, Nancy Spero, and Mary Kelly – deployed texts and images of writing to create an address that calls to viewers and asks them to participate in the project of deconstructing the sign woman. The conclusion also underscores that this artwork not only attests to the attention women artists paid to visual and textual appearance language in the late 1960s and 1970s, but also suggests feminism’s wide and rich historical impact. The writings of Angela Davis, Valerie Solanas, and Laura Mulvey help to highlight this impact, as they provide detailed historical frames for seeing the artwork’s interventions. Pointing to the work of psychoanalyst Juliet Mitchell and feminism’s struggles against the longevity of patriarchy, this last chapter argues that the artists’ and writers’ shared attention to language underscores the possibility and difficulty of reconfiguring the sign woman in the linguistic structure of the patriarchal unconscious..
