Dialectics of Freedom in Angela Davis
Slavery, Alienation, Freedom, Feminism, Abolition.
The present work aims to analyze freedom from the perspective of Angela Davis and the experience of black populations in the diaspora, as a historical-dialectical movement located in the context of modern slavery. The social relations arisen from slave labor were the cradle of birth of wage labor, the development of industrial capitalism and modern racism. Thus, it is pertinent to understand the centrality of alienated work for the dissemination of a reified reality that reproduces the racist stereotypes shared by the culture, reinforced by the institutional practices. They organize society and reproduce the subalternity of groups that are racially identified, mainly black women. Freedom thus asserts itself, as a constant process of disalienation and empowerment, through the denial of alienated work and racism, through the performance, mainly, of the work of black women, in the constant struggle for the dignity of the family and continuity of life, having in abolitionist feminism, in sensitive and aesthetic education, practical strategies for the abolition of capitalist institutions..
