A route through Davis

Davis connected the conference's approach to Marcuse's example of working across fields and social movements. She also applied his critique of political language to how society speaks about crime, punishment and possible alternatives. Her account explains a specific route from a teacher's arguments into her own organizing. (pp.xii–xiv) [2]

Assessment (moderate confidence): Davis describes ideas entering collective organizing. Her account explains that connection; later institutional effects still need checking. (pp.xii–xiv) [2]
