A ativista americana fala de tortura, encarceramento em massa e direitos humanos.

Numa série de entrevistas dada logo após o escândalo do presídio de Abu Ghraib, Angela Y. Davis analisa como sistemas históricos de opressão tais quais a escravidão e o linchamento continuam a influenciar e solapar a democracia na atualidade. Davis se fundamenta na tese de W. E. B. Du Bois, segundo a qual, quando os negros se tornaram livres da escravidão nos Estados Unidos, a eles foram negados os direitos plenos de outros cidadãos. Somado a isso, o sistema carcerário norte-americano (que hoje conta com a maior população carcerária do mundo) atua de forma a manter o domínio e o controle sobre populações inteiras. Davis investiga a noção de "democracia da abolição" como a democracia por vir, um conjunto de relações sociais livres da opressão e da injustiça.

Angela Yvonne Davis is considered to be a distinguished social and political activist of the United States. She has made a huge contribution in the uplifting of the political and social conditions of black in the American society. She was born and brought up in Alabama by her upper middle class parents, who were also in political scene of their times. Davis has studied in New York, Frankfurt and Massachusetts, where she polished her already existing communist ideas in her mind. She started as an associate professor at the University of California in the subject of philosophy and side by side got involved in the Communist Party USA and the Black Panther Party. It was in the 1970s that Davis got in trouble with the law when one of her subject of study, a young black boy who was imprisoned, tried to escape from the jail and was found with a weapon that was claimed to have been given to him by Davis. She tried to flee the law but was caught and put in the jail until all of the charges on her were withdrawn. Davis has been a keynote speaker on the issues of feminism, condition of the prisoners in the jails of United States and the liberation of gays and lesbians at many renowned universities and institutions since that incident.
