Abolition Democracy
Beyond Empire, Prisons, and Torture
Book • 2004
In *Abolition Democracy*, Angela Y. Davis examines the historical roots of the American prison system, tracing it back to slavery and racial oppression.
She argues that true democracy cannot coexist with mass incarceration and advocates for a form of democracy that seeks to eliminate the conditions leading to the prison system.
Davis emphasizes restorative justice and addressing root causes of crime as key components of this vision.
