Book synopsis

Cultural Studies. African American Studies. CD format. Prisons are becoming an integral part of the U.S. economy, which means that there are stakes other than anti-crime stakes that will keep the prison industry expanding. It's acquiring its own momentum which, if we don't intervene and stop it now, we will be into the next millennium an increasingly incarcerated society. And that scares me, because I have been there -- from the CD. In this 54-minute recording, Angela Davis traces her own path to activism, from the campaign in Birmingham in her youth after the church bombing which killed 4 of her girlfriends, through her prosecution and incarceration for political work around George Jackson & the Panthers, to her anti-prison work today. She shows the ways that ordinary people can and must stop the prison-industrial juggernaut before it becomes larger and more powerful. This lecture was recorded at Colorado College, Colorado Springs, CO, on May 5, 1997.
