- Angela Davis, through her activism and scholarship over many decades, has been deeply involved in movements for social justice around the world. Her work as an educator-both at the university level and in the larger public sphere-has always emphasized the importance of building communities of struggle for economic, racial, and gender justice. Her lecture is titled, “Frameworks for Radical Feminism in the 21st Century.”
This lecture is part of the Boston Public Library lecture series, “Notable Women.”

not to be off topic but I love watching the sign language interpreter, shes so emotive and charismatic and think I would die for her
I love that the Cuban woman asked...HOW CAN WE PUT (Radical) FEMINISM INTO ACTION? One issue I have with this Frameworks for Radical Feminism talk is that it can easily be turned into academic jargon. Davis critiques Beyonce for being an agent of capitalism which therefore affects her efforts at enacting feminism. (I agree). But I'd also say that the field of Academia is just as much a privileged Capitalist structure. Davis discusses a multitude of "intersectional realities" to feminism but I feel it moved away from the topic of having a solid framework to mobilize Radical Feminist Organizing. It was a bit too broad & safe, somewhat pandering to this wave of "inclusivity politics" that often derails feminist action all together in exchange of merely "validating" all sorts of experiences across the globe.
Angela you are my mentor, I’m so proud to say I’m a Mexican women who discovered the possibility of a word without discrimination.
@Ben Tennyson why are you so obsessed I found you replying to every single comment on videos about feminism, we get it you hate women
well yeah it's simple just move to the United States
@@nataliejaded "why are you so obsessed I found you replying to every single comment.." she's obsessed but you're the one checking up on her?? 🤣🤣🤣
@@jamesjimotheius8275 we have the most prisoners in the world, nobody wants to come here. Maybe they did in the 60s, but those days are long gone. The illusion is cracking, capitalism can't even fund its own wars, it's over lmfaoooo
@@jamesjimotheius8275 and get lynched?
Why are so many men commenting so negatively on this video? At least give a solid rebuttal.
they are reactionary sexists trying to hold onto power over women
Wonderful lecture
She talks about Toni Morrison :(
If particular sector growing big like cancer in the body.
I'm sorry.
She might be brilliant, I don't know.
Can anyone provide a link to her written works?
I find this kind of speech difficult to comprehend.
The tone and the emphasis on certain words is distracting.
A clear example is when people increase the volume and emphasise a word like the word *"especially"* ...
When you say:
"ESPECIALLY women of color"
Instead of:
"Especially women OF COLOR"
The emphasis when using the word *especially* should be on the subject descriptor. We know its about "women" but it is *_especially_** about women *"of colour."*
This is just the very first example of this kind of distracting speech pattern... Around 5 mins into the video. (5:40)
Politicians employ these kinds of speech patterns often, which is perhaps why hearing it from someone like this...is so infuriating.
I'm sorry, I just can't.
Anyone suggest one of her book titles that might cover this topic?
her book "women, race, and class" is a brilliant piece of writing.
U can check out her work by just make a quick search in the internet... Lol
Also, when a woman is speaking men always critic the way we dress, talk or gesture... Like that's not the point, just hate comments in my perspective...
@@JessicaSantos-nw9uy right, it's either her hair, her attitude, and now her tone 😂😂
Men 😂
“she might be brilliant, i don’t know.” what an arrogant thing to say. if you can take the time to leave this unnecessary and disrespectful comment, you can take the time to google “angela davis written works.”
It’s all double talk anyway.
Estimated number of victims. According to the introduction, the number of people killed by the Communist governments amounts to more than 94 million. The statistics of victims include deaths through executions, man-made hunger, famine, war, deportations and forced labor.
Fucking based
@@Gray-dr2ri communism = fascism both are socialist systems
Yes they are
and what would those numbers be for capitalist governments? the number of people enslaved, people dead due to homelessness and our health care system. not to mention the fact that we've never had an actual capitalist society.
The world is not perfect my dear but your life under this so hated capitalist democracy is a dream and was a dream of all the people who lived or live in communist
Marxist states. Cuba , Venezuela, north Korea and not to mention the former Soviet block . Your are very lucky that you have never experience that marxist paradise.
This woman is a KOOK
so much hate, what a strange bunch
its OK for women to gossip about men but men to gossip about women?
DONT LET IT GO!
She would never debate Thomas Sowell, facts do not matter to this kind of “intellectual”
She doesn't know the difference between a man and a man who says he isn't a man, but she says there is a difference.
get a life
Yes change the world 180 .... problem solved.....😎 Women justice...=self satisfaction....not fairness..
Any movement that includes the word 'radical' in its title is to be viewed with suspicion.
It’s because you think it means “extremism” when it actually means “root”. Learn some Latin maybe?
@@MC-cg2rr In modern parlance 'radical' is synonymous with the meaning of 'extremism'. In the media, social or otherwise, you rarely hear of terminology such as 'leftist extremism' or 'extreme feminism', its almost invariably 'leftist radical' and 'radical feminism.' If you're trying to argue that the use of the term 'radical' is based on its original Latin meaning then you'd be wrong.
@@saiello2061 but she's not wrong? That is why it's called 'radical feminism', not because it's extreme feminism, even if those two terms are used interchangeably a lot, 'radical' was opted for because of the Latin, that's why it was decided on, not because it's extreme feminism
@@firstnamelastname4658 I'm not interested in getting into a moot side issue of semantics. My original point was that any movement that has organised under the label of 'radical' has never done any good for society. Can you think of one..? 🤔 I suspect not.
@@saiello2061 "If you're trying to argue that the use of the term 'radical' is based on its original Latin meaning then you'd be wrong." Let's not get wrapped into semantics then and just accept in this instance the choice of word 'radical' was not meant in the same manner as extreme
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have authority over the man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Yet she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and love
and holiness with propriety." - Apostle Paul, speaking in the LORD's Authority
Apostle Paul had sex with pagans and was a child molester
WTF mister
And if your post was satirical in some sense, then I apologize
@@Gray-dr2ri let he who is without sin cast the first stone
Your patriarchal religion is losing power. Women will not be held in chains anymore, we’re waking up against these man-made religions.
@@jamesjimotheius8275 most of us are without the sin of child molestation…
I don't know what misogynist means but if it's something good then I'm it
Basically a person who dislikes,has a predjuce or shows discriminatory hated towards women or someone who fits "acts"(is a misogynist) like a misogynist
Get a dictionary. It’s bad.
Yes, you are, incel.
She is a hypocrite and full of double standards!!!
Let's talk about how majority of *"men"* are still *negative* towards women, especially towards women of color who are cisgender and transGENDER. The majority of Caucasians still can't stand POC. Why? Because majority of you are still *indoctrinated* aka *brainwashed* to *"think"* that *"POC are less than".*
@@tanyalake9152 Facts based on opinion are not facts!
@@Purespirit777 - AGAIN, YOU IDOIOT!!! YOU DO NOT LIKE POC, AND IT IS APPARENT/OBVIOUS TO ME.
@@tanyalake9152 I do not engage with toxic people...lol
@@Purespirit777 - keep *assuming* and giving yourself a thumbs up. You are pathetic.
I think it’s amazing that people like this criticize capitalism. She has written and sold a lot of books and I’d bet she didn’t not take the money. It’s total hypocrisy. I personally congratulate her for her success whether I agree with a lot of what she says or not. If other people would look to improve their individual development of skills to further their economic success as well they’d realize all their problems would go away.
socialism isn't "when poor"... go look at the average government housing provided in any country with socially based policies. USA is #3 for wealth inequality under Chile and Mexico. One person cannot change the inherent structure of society through capital provided from book sales. Socialist should just stay poor and die? lol
@@livinglux9107 no they should be capitalists and thrive which is exactly what people are doing. Outside of being extremely mentally and physically handicapped there’s no excuse for anyone in America to be in an uncomfortable financial state and if they are it’s due to their own choices or lack of action.
@@derekmortensen85 Capitalist own property, machinery, equipment.... They run companies or organizations. They are private owners. Selling books doesn't make one a capitalist. Now if one owns the printing press and printed books, newspapers, and other printing material for other authors , that would make them a capitalist.
Regardless of how many books Ms Davis sold, she is not a capitalist. That is like saying people who have jobs are capitalist because they get a pay check.
Capitalist seem to always exploit the talents and labor of others.
@@veganbutterfly3652 that is the dumbest attempt to rationalize away someone not being a capitalist that I’ve ever seen. Angela Davis mad like $75,000,000 last year and is referred to as the highest paid activist ever. She’s been on the cover of different financial magazines and I’m not aware of her ever denying a paycheck. She also owns property and when she published her book she used a publisher that used machinery and labor to produce those books. So by your definition she actively is exploiting those people. She also negotiated a contract for that book and determined profitable deal for her self. Saying she’s not a capitalist and a hypocrite is like saying mud isn’t dirt.
Another dumb comment from the colonized ones.
