U-Angela Davis ngunjingalwazi obambeleyo kwezopolitiko kwi-UC System onembali yokuchasa. Ulibanjwa lezopolitiko owayesakuba enze umsebenzi kunye neQela lamaKomanisi, kwaye ukwangumbhali weencwadi ezisi-8 ezihlalutya ubuhlanga, udidi, kunye nesini. Ukwangumseki weqela lababhangisi bentolongo, iCritical Resistance. Kutshanje ubhale isandulela sencwadi entsha yebanjwa lezopolitiko uMumia Abu Jamal “Amagqwetha aseJailhouse”, apho iBlock Report yenza udliwanondlebe naye ukunceda ukukhuthaza.

Ndaqala ndafundiswa ngo-Angela Davis elibanjwa lezopolitiko, kamva kwigqwetha lokuqala lentolongo endadibana naye ngeposi yayiligqwetha lakhe esavalelweyo, uRuchell Magee, endandidla ngokumbhalela ngamaxesha athile. Ke le ncwadi indinike ulwazi olungcono malunga nokuba bunjani ngokwenene ubomi njengegqwetha lentolongo. Ndemba isibakala sokuba uMumia wakhetha umbandela ongafane uxutyushwe kweli cala leendonga. Ndifunde okuninzi kwaye kwawenza wamanzisa umdla wam wokufuna ukufunda ngakumbi ngala magorha asemthethweni. Jonga u-Angela Davis njengoko ethetha ngembulambethe yakhe kwincwadi entsha kaMumia, ngamazwi akhe…

I-MOI JR: Ndifuna ukuthetha nawe namhlanje malunga nentshayelelo yakho kwincwadi entsha ka-Mumia Abu Jamal, “Amagqwetha aseJailhouse”. Ekubeni ndiyazi ukuba abafundi abaninzi abanayo le ncwadi, ndifuna ukuqala ngokufunda izicatshulwa ezimbalwa, kwaye ndiya kukubuza imibuzo ngokumalunga neengcaphuno. Utsho kwingabula-zigcawu yakho, “uMumia walatha kum into eyayisisityhilelo esothusayo kum. Amagqwetha e-Jailhouse aquka iqela elisenokohlwaywa ngabaphathi bentolongo, ngaphezulu kwamabanjwa ezopolitiko, abantu abaNtsundu, amalungu emigulukudu, kunye namabanjwa angama-gay ngelixa i-jailhouse layers zohlwaywa yinto uMumia ayibiza ngokuba 'ziintlawulo ezifihlakeleyo'. Ngokwembali banokuthi babekwe ityala lokuphulwa kwangaphakathi ngaphandle kwesizathu esinye sokuba basebenzise umthetho ukucela umngeni koonogada bentolongo, ulawulo lwentolongo, kunye neemeko zentolongo. Ngokoluvo lwakho kubaluleke ngantoni ukuba uMumia akhethe amagqwetha asejele ukuba abe ngumxholo wencwadi yakhe entsha?

U-Angela: Okokuqala, le yincwadi emangalisayo. Wonke umntu kufuneka ayifunde le ncwadi. Kwaye ndavuya kakhulu kukufunda ukuba wayesebenza kwincwadi yamagqwetha asejele kuba ibali lamagqwetha entolongo libali elifihliweyo. Uninzi lwabantu beli lizwe aluqapheli ubungakanani bokuchasana noorhulumente beentolongo, iintolongo zombuso, iintolongo zomdibaniso kulo lonke ilizwe, zibunjwe ngomsebenzi wamagqwetha asejele. Kukho isithethe eside sokuchasa. Kwaye uMumia, ngokwakhe, ligqwetha lendlu yentolongo. Kwaye ukuba umntu ucinga malunga nokuba mangaphi amadoda nabasetyhini abasebenzise umthetho ukuze bacele umngeni koorhulumente bentolongo, umntu ufumana ingqiqo yelifa elinamandla lokuxhathisa.

MOI JR: Kwesinye isicatshulwa kwintshayelelo yakho uthi, “uMumia uxoxa ngelithi ukuwiswa koMthetho woHlaziyo lweNgxowa-mali yeNtolongo kukwaphulwa kweNgqungquthela eChasene neNtuthumbo ngokugweba ukwenzakala ngokwasengqondweni okanye ngokwasengqondweni njengesiseko sokubuyisela umonakalo ololo hlobo lonyanzeliso ngokwesondo. wayemelwe kwiifoto zika-Abu Ghraib ukuba zenziwa ngaphakathi kwintolongo yase-US, ngekhe zenze ubungqina besimangalo. Kwakutheni ukuze ubonise oku kwintshayelelo yakho?

U-Angela: Abantu abaninzi bacinga ukuba iPLRA, iPrison Litigation Reform Act, njengoko bendizama ukukhomba kwintshayelelo, ithintela amabanjwa ukuba angazibandakanyi kumatyala angenamsebenzi. Kodwa njengoko u-Mumia esitsho, luhlaselo olucacileyo kumthamo wamabanjwa ukuba asebenzise umthetho ngokwawo. Ayikoburheletya konke konke, imalunga nokuthatha amabanjwa esinye sezixhobo ekuphela kwazo abathe bakwazi ukuziphuhlisa ukucela umngeni kwinkqubo yonke. Ke asinakucinga ukuba phantsi kolawulo lukaClinton i-PLRA yapasiswa, kwaye oko kwabeka amatyala entolongo ukuba aphumle. Kubalulekile kuthi thina bangaphandle sixhase amalungelo amabanjwa okusebenzisa umthetho ukuxhathisa ubundlobongela obuvela kurhulumente.

I-MOI JR: Kwakhona ukukucaphula, utsho kwintshayelelo “yeGqwetha leJailhouse”, “Indlela elimisa ngayo i-PLRA ngokwembali njengelifa leeKhowudi eziMnyama, nezaziphuma kwiiKhowudi zekhoboka, ivumela ukuqonda ubungakanani apho iinkumbulo zembali yobukhoboka kunye nobuhlanga zichazwe kwakwezo zakhiwo zenkqubo yentolongo, kwaye ziye zanceda ukuvelisa iNdawo yoShishino lweNtolongo. Ungaxoxa ngokubaluleka kokuba uMmia enze olu qhagamshelwano “kwiJailhouse Lawyers”?

Angela: Yenye yezinto ebendiyithanda kakhulu ngoMumia, uyayazi indlela yokwenza ezi zinxulumanisi zembali. Wenza unxibelelwano noko kunokubonakala ngathi kukudimazeka kakhulu kunye neentlobo ezahlukeneyo zeziganeko, umzekelo ubonisa ukuba i-PLRA yagqithiswa ngexesha elifanayo nokuchithwa kwenkqubo yentlalontle, kwaye kukho unxibelelwano phakathi kokuthintela abafazi ngokuyinhloko ukufikelela kwiminatha yokhuseleko kwiintsapho zabo, kwaye olu hlaselo kumabanjwa akwazi ukuzikhusela. Ke ndiyithanda kakhulu indlela anxibelelana ngayo nobukhoboka. Ndicinga ngenkqubo yentolongo namhlanje kweli lizwe, kwaye ngokukodwa inkqubo yesohlwayo esikhulu, ndiyicinga njengenkumbulo yembali yobukhoboka, njengelifa elibonakalayo lobukhoboka. Kwaye njengenyani, ubukho bezo nkqubo businika ubungqina bokwenyani bokuba ubukhoboka abuzange bupheliswe ngokupheleleyo. Ngoko ke ndiyayithanda indlela anokuthi asibonise ngayo ukufana phakathi kweeKhowudi eziMnyama, ezaveliswa emva kobukhoboka ukuphindaphinda inkqubo yobukhoboka emva kokuba ubukhoboka buphelisiwe. Kwaye iPRLA isebenza kwinjongo efanayo yangoku.

I-MOI JR: Kwakhona, ubhala ku-“Jailhouse Lawyers”, kwisivakalisi sokugqibela, “Yena (uMumia), usivumela ukuba sicinge ngento yokuba amathuba enguqu ahlala evela apho singawalindelanga. Kwakutheni ukuze uqukumbele intshayelelo yakho ngala mazwi akule ncwadi?

Angela: Uyayazi kaloku abantu abadli ngokucinga ukuba amabanjwa ngokubanzi akhusela idemokhrasi. Bacinga ngentolongo njengendawo engaphantsi, engaphantsi, yedemokhrasi; njengendawo othumela kuyo abantu abasenalo ilungelo lokuba ngabemi. Kodwa ndicinga ukuba into ayenzayo u-Mumia, uyakwazi ukubonisa amagqwetha entolongo ngendlela yokusicenga nokuba sithini na iimpembelelo zethu kwezopolitiko, amagqwetha entolongo aye, ngandlel' ithile, ephambili kukhuselo lwedemokhrasi. . Andithethi ngedemokhrasi yongxowankulu. Andithethi ngeneo-liberal democracy. Ndithetha ngohlobo lwedemokhrasi enokuthi ithande ukulingana kwezopolitiko kuphela, kodwa ukulingana ngokobuhlanga, ukulingana kwezoqoqosho, kunye nokulingana ngokwesondo ngokunjalo.

MOI JR: Kubaluleke ngantoni kuthi ukuqonda ukuba uMumia ujongene nokufa kanye ngalo mzuzwana, kanye xa wayekhupha incwadi echubekileyo ngamagqwetha asejele? Ubalule kwakhona kwesi sandulela ukuba akafane athethe ngaye, ngoko ke phakathi kweli xesha lomongameli wokuqala oNtsundu waseMelika, ukuvalelwa kukaMumia, nazo zonke iziphene kwimeko yakhe, kuthini ngemeko yezopolitiko yokwenyani. eMelika?

Angela: Okokuqala, ibaluleke kakhulu into kaMumia ukuba singene kuyo, kufuneka sisindise ubomi bakhe. Kufuneka sikhulule uMumia. Kwaye ewe, njengoko abantu abaninzi bevuma ukuba akafane asebenzise italente yakhe emangalisayo kunye namandla okuzithethelela. Uhlala ethethelela abanye, kwaye eso sesona sizathu singakumbi sokuba ngabameli abanomdla kuye. Ndikhe ndahamba kwezinye iindawo zehlabathi kakhulu, kwaye kukho iintshukumo zokukhulula iMumia kulo lonke ihlabathi. Ngamanye amaxesha ndiziva ndineentloni kakhulu ukuba asikwazanga ukoyisa amandla e-Fraternal Order of Police umzekelo kunye neminye imikhosi ekhuselekileyo ezimisele ukubulala uMumia. Kodwa le ncwadi isesinye isizathu sokuba kufuneka simkhusele, nesizathu sokuba kufuneka sisebenzise nantoni na esinayo, naluphi na ulwazi, naziphi na izixhobo esinazo ukuze siqinisekise ukuba ubomi bakhe buyasindiswa yaye ekugqibeleni uyakhululwa.
