Description
The power of George Jackson's personal story remains painfully relevant today, with its persistent racism, harsh prisons, and unjust judicial system. This collection of his letters from prison offers a powerful condemnation of white America's racism and a searing appraisal of the prison system that ultimately took his life. Jackson's letters convey the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. Even removed from the social and political turmoil of that era, his story remains a powerful portrait of a man taking a stand while locked down. A thought-provoking and deeply personal account, Soledad Brother is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the ongoing struggles with racism and inequality in America.
