She highlights connections and analyses today's struggles against state terror, from Ferguson to Palestine. Facing a world of injustice, Davis challenges us to build the movement for human liberation.

Hon är känd som en av grundarna till Svarta befrielsearmén, medlem av Svarta pantrarna och gudmor till hiphoplegenden Tupac Shakur.År 2013 blev hon den första kvinnan någonsin att tas upp på listan över FBI:s mest efterlysta terrorister. Nu kommer Assata Shakurs skakande självbiografi för första gången på svenska.Livstidsdomen för mordet på en vit delstatspolis 1973 delade USA. Fallet Assata blev en symbol för rasism och polisbrutalitet. Där kritiker såg en hänsynslös mördare såg Assatas försvarare ett offer för en systematisk och rasistisk kampanj för att kriminalisera svarta befrielseorganisationer.I sin personliga och politiska självbiografi skildrar Assata de erfarenheter som fick henne att omfamna ett liv av aktivism. Assata Shakur min historia är ett bidrag till historieskrivningen och den nutida debatten om rasism och diskriminering. Boken intar en självklar plats intill Malcolm X självbiografi och Maya Angelous böcker.Assata Shakur är också känd som Joanne Chesimard. Hon rymde från fängelset 1979 och lever idag i exil på Kuba. FBI erbjuder upp till en miljon dollar för information som kan leda till hennes gripande.Med förord av Angela Davis och Nathan Hamelberg. Assata Shakurs dikter har tolkats till svenska av Athena Farrokhzad och Leandro Schclarek Mulinari.

Pre-school childcare in England, 1939–2010 investigates how competing ideas about child development influenced the provision, practice and experience of childcare for the under fives since 1939. It explores how theories which developed during the war about the psychological harm caused by separating an infant from its mother influenced the organisation of childcare outside the family in light of the social, economic and demographic changes seen during the years that followed. Focusing on four different forms of childcare – day nurseries, nursery schools and classes, playgroups, and childminders – it considers how both individual families and wider society managed the care of young children in the context of dramatic increases in the employment of married women. Using a new body of oral history interviews specifically undertaken for the book, it also examines the experiences and effects of care on those involved and the current policy implications raised.

Winner of the Women’s History Network Book Prize, 2013This book examines women’s experiences of motherhood in England in the years between 1945 and 2000. Based on a new body of 160 oral history interviews, the book offers the first comprehensive historical study of the experience of motherhood in the second half of the twentieth century. Motherhood is an area where a number of discourses and practices meet. The book forms a thematic study looking at aspects of mothers’ lives such as education, health care, psychology, labour market trends and state intervention. Looking through the prism of motherhood provides a way of understanding the complex social changes that have taken place in the post-war world. This book will be essential reading for students and researchers in the field of twentieth-century British social history. However it will also be of interest to scholars in related fields and a general readership with an interest in British social history.'A fascinating survey of women's experience of motherhood', 'eminently readable', 'a solid and thoughtful study', 'an outstanding piece of oral history', and 'ambitiously wide ranging'. The judging panel for the Women’s History Network Book Prize, 2013.

In the last two decades, historians have increasingly sought to understand how environments, ‘built’ and otherwise, architectural surroundings, landscapes, and conceptual ‘places’ and ‘spaces’ have affected the nature and scope of political power, cultural production and social experience . The essays in this collection expand upon this already rich field of inquiry by combining an analytical approach sensitive to questions of gender with an exploration of ideas of political space. The volume demonstrates how the gendered and political meanings of space—be that space domestic or public, rural or urban, real or imagined, or a combination of all these and more—are fashioned through the movement of historical actors through space and time. Whether in delineating the gendered and politicized space of the pulpit; the sickroom; the Irish farmyard; the London suffrage atelier; the domestic space created by the wireless; the lesbian ‘scene’ of rural Canada; the eighteenth-century ladies' ‘closet’; or the public space within the ‘public history’ of historic houses, the volume demonstrates how the meanings of these spaces are not fixed, but are challenged and reformulated. This book was originally published as a special issue of Women’s History Review.

Beyond the Frame explores the importance of visual images in the identities and material conditions of women of color as they relate to social power, oppression, and resistance. The goal of the collection is to rethink the category of visual theory through women of color. It also explores the political and social ramifications of visual imagery for women of color, and the political consciousness that can emerge alongside a critical understanding of the impact of visual imagery. The book begins with a general exploration of what it means to develop a women of color criticism (rather than an analysis of women of color), and goes on to look specifically at topics such as 90s fashion advertisements, the politics of cosmetic surgery, and female fans of East LA rock bands.

Lifes funny ways is a book of poems about reconnecting with your inner spirit.The ways in which we are reminded of our strengths, our weaknesses, our ego, our pride.The journey we travel, along the road with You - even when we dont know it.The way that You try to guide us - it can be a very bumpy ride!You try to help us with humour, with love and compassion, but,Sometimes we fail to listen. You keep trying and trying. So,When all else fails - You give us a swift kick, to get us out of the rut.All the time, waiting and hoping that we will, You, get to know.Hoping that we will remember You.That we will live - knowingYour love for us too.When us, to Heaven, You bring.

The trial of Angela Davis is remembered as one of America''s most historic political trials, and no one can tell the story better than Davis herself. Opening with a letter from James Baldwin to Angela, and including contributions from numerous radicals and commentators such as Black Panthers George Jackson, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale and Erica Huggins, this book is not only an account of Davis''s incarceration and the struggles surrounding it, but also perhaps the most comprehensive and thorough analysis of the prison system of the United States and the figure embodied in Davis''s arrest and imprisonment-the political prisoner. Since the book was written, the carceral system in the US has grown from strength to strength, with more of its black population behind bars than ever before. The scathing analysis of the role of prison and the policing of black populations offered by Davis and her comrades in this astonishing volume remains as relevant today as the day it was published.

Ungleiche Geschlechterverhältnisse sind noch immer tief in unsere Gesellschaft eingeschrieben. Der Kampf für die Befreiung der Frau von patriarchaler Unterdrückung, wirtschaftlicher Abhängigkeit und Sexismus sowie für soziale Gleichheit steht nach wie vor auf der Tagesordnung jeder wahrhaften emanzipativen und progressiven Bewegung.Die Wiener Forscherin Julia Harnoncourt versammelt in ihrem Band "Für die Befreiung der Frau" Schriften und Analysen von Aktivistinnen und Theoretikerinnen aus zwei Jahrhunderten des Kampfes. Von den Kämpferinnen der ArbeiterInnenbewegung bis zu den Feministinnen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, von der afroamerikanischen Frauenbewegung bis zu den Vertreterinnen des Globalen Südens, von Clara Zetkin und Simone de Beauvoir bis zur Zweiten Frauenbewegung der 1970er Jahre wird versucht, möglichst viele verschiedene Analyse- und Lösungsansätze zu Wort kommen zu lassen.So zum Beispiel die Frage nach biologischem und sozialem Geschlecht oder nach gerechter Verteilung. Ein weiteres wichtiges Thema ist das Verhältnis von Frauen zur Arbeit, wobei Haus- und Pflegearbeit besonders kontrovers diskutiert wird. Der Slogan "Das Private ist politisch" betrifft nicht nur die Hausarbeit, sondern auch den weiblichen Körper, Liebe und Sexualität. Im Kampf gegen die Ungleichheit stellt sich schließlich auch die Frage, mit wem überhaupt zusammen gekämpft werden kann. Können Männer die Interessen von Frauen vertreten? Und können von Rassismus oder globaler Ungleichheit betroffene Frauen mit weißen Frauen aus dem Norden gemeinsam um ihre Rechte kämpfen, wenn alle unterschiedliche Erfahrungen machen?Das Buch "Befreiung der Frau" versammelt verschiedene Perspektiven und Antworten aus unterschiedlichen feministischen Kämpfen und Regionen der Welt.

En la vida de toda persona comprometida políticamente, existe una tensión inevitable entre la necesidad de pronunciarse sobre los problemas que presenta la actualidad y la aspiración a que esos análisis que brotan de las circunstancias resistan la prueba del tiempo y se desvinculen de los límites del hic et nunc para convertirse en referencias universales.Así, el mayor reto para un activista es responder adecuadamente a las necesidades del momento histórico, y hacerlo de tal manera que su esfuerzo por arrojar luz sobre el presente se refleje y conserve su valor en el futuro. Un reto, desde luego, de los más arduos, que solo los intelectuales más clarividentes han logrado superar: a este reducido grupo pertenece, sin duda, Angela Davis, cuyo pensamiento no solo ha resistido el paso de los años, sino que cobra hoy en día una renovada fuerza, y es capaz de proporcionar respuestas originales a muchas de la preguntas que nos impone el tumultuoso contexto social en el que vivimos.«Los argumentos de Davis en favor de la justicia son apabullantes. No se puede negar el poder de su mirada histórica». THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Publicada en 1974 y escrita cuando tenía 28 años, la autobiografía de Angela Davis es una radiografía fundamental de las luchas sociales en Estados Unidos durante los años sesenta y setenta, periodo en el que se convirtió en un icono del Movimiento de Liberación Negro. En sus páginas, Davis expone el punto de vista de una militante afroamericana y su particular visión del movimiento negro y el feminismo, en uno de los momentos más efervescentes de la historia política reciente, cuando el imperialismo norteamericano estaba a la defensiva tanto en el exterior (Vietnam, frentes de liberación, etc.) como en el interior. Fue en este periodo cuando fue perseguida y encarcelada por diversas autoridades, falsamente acusada de secuestro, conspiración y asesinato.Más que ideas abstractas, teorías o ejercicios intelectuales triviales, lo que encontramos en este volumen es una profunda preocupación por la dignidad de la gente, en un momento histórico en el que la lucha por estos valores se libraba a vida o muerte. Y Davis luchó por la vida de muchos como si fuera por la suya propia.

Angela Davis är en av de stora legendarerna inom den svarta befrielsekampen i USA. Ända sedan medborgarrättsrörelsens dagar på 1960-talet har hon oförtrutet bekämpat orättvisor och förtryck, ofta till ett högt personligt pris. Som en av pionjärerna inom intersektionellt tänkande var hon bland de första att visa hur rasism, sexism, homofobi och andra förtrycksformer oupplösligen hänger samman och förstärker varandra. Föreliggande volym innehåller intervjuer, artiklar och andra texter som binder samman Davis halvsekellånga gärning som aktivist och akademiker. Vi får följa hur hennes syn på motståndets teori och praktik har utvecklats, från Black Power-rörelsens era, via kampanjen mot apartheid och solidaritetsarbetet med Palestina till kampen mot rasistiskt polisvåld i organisationer som Black Lives Matter och queerfeministiska rörelser. Som en röd tråd genom hela hennes verk löper tanken om att alla dessa strider är sammanlänkade, att ingenting kan förstås i isolering, och att friheten endast kan vinnas genom en oupphörlig kamp.

Hur styrs familjen i dagens samhälle? En rad av numrets texter handlar om vad den politiska styrningen av familjen innebär i dag, i Sverige såväl som i andra länder. Sociologen Åsa Lundqvist och historikern Helene Brodin beskriver i sina respektive bidrag hur den svenska organiseringen av familj och omsorgsrelationer har förändrats i riktning mot en mer marknadsorienterad modell, som lett till ökad ojämlikhet mellan kvinnor med olika sociala bakgrunder. Den politiska filosofen Nancy Fraser och historikern Linda Gordon undersöker den förändrade betydelsen av begreppet »beroende«, särskilt i ett välfärds- och familjepolitiskt sammanhang. Hur migrationsprocesser påverkar relationen mellan föräldrar och barn även sedan familjen fått uppehållstillstånd diskuteras i ett samtal mellan Somar Al Naher, Ihsan Kellecioglu och Bilan Osman. Den brittiska filosofen Nina Power argumenterar för ett kapitalismkritiskt sätt att se på reproduktion, nämligen som en historisk, social och kulturspecifik företeelse där vi alla lätt hamnar i en återvändsgränd. Den amerikanska queerteoretikern Jack Halberstam visar i sin analys av samtida datoranimerade filmer hur queera och antikapitalistiska teman om familj och relationer faktiskt intar en central plats i den kommersiella barnkulturen. Numret innehåller också den amerikanska medborgarrättsaktivisten och historikern Angela Davis klassiska text om hur slaveriet i den amerikanska södern formade de kvinnliga slavarnas villkor och skapade mer jämlika familjerelationer.

Si quieren comprender los secretos de los caminos establecidos en dirección a la democracia, observen los movimientos liderados por mujeres negras. Angela DavisEl capitalismo toma el término "empoderamiento" y lo vacía de su sentido colectivo. […] La perspectiva neoliberal del empoderamiento es individual. Patricia Hill CollinsLas mujeres están reconstruyendo aquello que es común a todos a lo largo del mundo. […] Cuando defienden los bosques, o las tierras, o los ríos de una empresa minera o petrolera, están defendiendo los bienes comunes.Silvia FedericiEste libro presenta las conferencias que Angela Davis, Patricia Hill Collins y Silvia Federici –tres referentes ineludibles de los movimientos feministas a nivel mundial– dictaron en octubre de 2019 alrededor del interrogante "¿Democracia en colapso?".Cada una con su marca personal, pero también con un tono compartido y contundente que invita a la reflexión y al debate, construyen una narrativa que desde la interseccionalidad aborda los temas más urgentes: la representación política, la crisis ecológica, la explotación laboral y económica, la desigualdad.En tiempos donde pareciera no haber alternativa al capitalismo salvaje, ¿Democracia para quién? se vuelve un libro imprescindible, un espacio de resistencia y, por qué no, una posible puerta de salida.
