Question

[10e] Name this word whose verb form commonly precedes “ICE” or “the police” in slogans, tracing back to its older definition of the ending of slavery.

ANSWER: abolition [or abolitionism or abolitionist or abolish; accept prison abolitionism; accept abolition of slavery; accept “abolish ICE”; accept “abolish the police” or police abolitionism] (The Davis work is Are Prisons Obsolete?.)

[10h] Davis’s book Abolition Democracy is titled for a term coined in this work. Four million people were said to have participated in “The General Strike” in this work that challenged the Dunning School.

ANSWER: Black Reconstruction in America (by W. E. B. Du Bois)

[10m] Bettina Love’s concept of abolition seeks to challenge this field’s namesake “survival complex.” The “problem-posing model” improves on the “banking model” according to a Brazilian scholar of this field.
