“Durante un período importante en el movimiento de libración de la mujer, uno de los problemas principales era la tendencia a asumir que las mujeres blancas de clase media eran el modelo más típico de mujer y ello excluía a las de clase trabajadora, a las mujeres negras, a las nativas americanas y a las latinas.”

“No hay un feminismo, sino muchos. El feminismo eficaz tiene que luchar contra la homofobia, la explotación de clase, raza y género, el capitalismo y el imperialismo.”

“No creo que debamos luchar por una sociedad en la que la raza esté completamente ausente. De hecho, no creo que sea posible revertir el desarrollo de la historia, hacer como si la esclavitud nunca hubiera existido, como si la colonización de las Américas, África o Asia nunca hubiera ocurrido.”

“Desgraciadamente los europeos no están exentos de las consecuencias de la esclavitud transatlántica, y desde luego no lo están de las consecuencias del colonialismo. Francia, por ejemplo, ha establecido un Día del Recuerdo de la Esclavitud y el Comercio de Esclavos. Debería reconocerse que los refugiados de África siguen las mismas rutas del comercio de esclavos. Ciertamente, Europa está experimentando ahora los resultados de una larga historia de esclavitud y colonización.”

“La persistencia de la pena de muerte como una forma habitual de castigo es uno de los ejemplos más dramáticos de cómo las consecuencias de la esclavitud siguen dando forma a nuestra sociedad.”

“No podemos asumir que el racismo es sobre todo un problema para aquellos que lo padecen. El racismo distorsiona y corrompe instituciones y mentes, crea una asunción de superioridad, produce el privilegio blanco. Hay quienes creen que el eslogan Black Lives Matter tiene una connotación particular, pero no podría ser más universal. Decir simplemente All Lives Matter es ignorar hasta qué punto las vidas negras y de color son objeto de racismo y represión. Decir que las vidas negras importan, sin embargo, es proclamar que en efecto todas las vidas importan.”

Women, Race and Class (1983)

“Where cultural representations do not reach out beyond themselves, there is the danger that they will function as the surrogates for activism, that they will constitute both the beginning and the end of political practice.”

“Prisons do not disappear problems, they disappear human beings. And the practice of disappearing vast numbers of people from poor, immigrant and racially marginalized communities has literally become big business.”

Fuente: "Masked Racism" (1998)

“There is this freedom movement and then there is an attempt to narrow the freedom movement so that it fits into a much smaller frame, the frame of civil rights. Not that civil rights is not immensely important, but freedom is more expansive that civil rights. And as that movement grew and developed it was inspired by and in turn inspired liberation struggles in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Australia. It was not only a question of acquiring the formal rights to fully participate in society, but rather it was also about substantive rights—it was about jobs, free education, free health care, affordable housing, and also about ending the racist police occupation of black communities.”

Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Closures and Continuities (2013)

“Regimes of racial segregation were not disestablished because of the work of leaders and presidents and legislators but rather because of the fact that ordinary people adopted a critical stance in the way in which they perceived their relationship to reality. Social realities that may have appeared inalterable, impenetrable, came to be viewed as malleable and transformable; and people learned how to imagine what it might mean to live in a world that was not so exclusively governed by the principle of white supremacy. This collective consciousness emerged within the context of social struggles.”

“We believe that the most pressing political necessity is the consolidation of a United Front joining together all sections of the revolutionary, radical and democratic movements. Only a united front—led in the first place by the national liberation movements and the working people—can decisively counter, theoretically, ideologically and practically, the increasingly fascistic and genocidal posture of the present ruling clique”

If They Come in The Morning (1971)

“An attempt to create a new conceptual terrain for imagining alternatives to imprisonment involves the ideological work of questioning why "criminals" have been constituted as a class and, indeed, a class of human beings undeserving of the civil and human rights accorded to others. Radical criminologists have long pointed out that the category "lawbreakers" is far greater than the category of individuals who are deemed criminals since, many point out, almost all of us have broken the law at one time or another.”

Angela Davis Are Prisons Obsolete?

Are Prisons Obsolete? (2003)

“Racist oppression invades the lives of Black people on an infinite variety of levels. Blacks are imprisoned in a world where our labor and toil hardly allow us to eke out a decent existence, if we are able to find jobs at all. When the economy begins to falter, we are forever the first victims, always the most deeply wounded. When the economy is on its feet, we continue to live in a depressed state. Unemployment is generally twice as high in the ghettos as it is in the country as a whole and even higher among Black women and youth. The unemployment rate among Black youth has presently skyrocketed to 30 per cent. If one-third of America’s white youth were without a means of livelihood, we would either be in the thick of revolution or else under the iron rule of fascism. Substandard schools, medical care hardly fit for animals, overpriced, dilapidated housing, a welfare system based on a policy of skimpy concessions, designed to degrade and divide (and even this may soon be cancelled)—this is only the beginning of the list of props in the overall scenery of oppression which, for the mass of Blacks, is the universe.”

"Afro Images: Politics, Fashion, and Nostalgia" Critical Inquiry. Vol. 21, No. 1 (Autumn, 1994), pp. 37-39, 41-43 and 45.

“The historical significance of the Proclamation is not so much that it enacted the emancipation of people of African descent; on the contrary, it was a military strategy. But if we examine the meaning of this historical moment we might better be able to grasp the failures as well as the successes of emancipation. I have thought that perhaps we were not asked to reflect on the significance of the Emancipation Proclamation because we might realize that we were never really emancipated. But anyway, at least we may be able to understand the dialectics of emancipation; because we still live the popular myth that Lincoln freed the slaves and that this continues to be perpetuated in popular culture, even by the film Lincoln.”

Angela Davis

Lincoln did not free the slaves. We also live with the myth that the mid-twentieth century Civil Rights Movement freed the second-class citizens. Civil rights, of course, constitute an essential element of the freedom that was demanded at that time, but it was not the whole story.
