In these newly collected essays, interviews, and speeches, world-renowned activist and scholar Angela Y. Davis illuminates the connections between struggles against state violence and oppression throughout history and around the world. Reflecting on the importance of Black feminism, intersectionality, and prison abolitionism for today's struggles, Davis discusses the legacies of previous liberation struggles - from the Black freedom movement to the South African antiapartheid movement.

With her characteristic brilliance, grace, and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for "decarceration," and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole. 

Massimo Riversi, un tempo brillante poliziotto, ha visto la sua vita sgretolarsi sotto il peso di una crisi che lo ha condotto al ricovero in una clinica psichiatrica. È in quel silenzio forzato, tra dolore e pareti che non hanno risposte, che scopre qualcosa di inaspettato: il potere di percepire voci e suoni del passato. Non voci di fantasmi o echi sovrannaturali, ma frammenti di conversazioni e suoni che appartengono a giorni, settimane e persino mesi prima. Un dono che, in realtà, somiglia più a una condanna, un fardello che minaccia di consumare quel poco che resta della sua lucidità.
