The Cambridge Companion to American Prison Writing and Mass Incarceration
This book tells the story of mass Incarceration in America through the writers who experienced it first-hand. It begins at mid-century with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, whose insights about racism and the criminal justice system warned of what was to come. It takes off in the 1960s and 1970s with revolutionary writers like George Jackson, Assata Shakur, and Mumia Abu-Jamal, seeking liberation not just from prison but the oppressive s…

Malcolm and Manning
ATRAGIC IRONY binds Malcolm X and Dr. aManning Marable: neither lived to enjoy the fruit of his endeavors. Malcolm was assassinated only months before his autobiography was published and Dr. Marable died a few days before his biography, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention (Viking, 2011), was released. Dr. Marable’s prodigious tome — nearly 600 pages with more than 100 pages of endnotes, bibliography and index — is the culmination of a score of years…

Barack Obama (now President) and the media during his campaign for the presidency was akin to predicting the sudden twists and turns of a turbulent weather system. In both cases, so much depended on the time and the place of observation, and the extent to which the forecasters knew what they were talking about. Like a storm, Obama's path was far from predictable, thereby leaving the media in a state of flux and ambivalence
Zimbabwe
those who champion the administration of President Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe and those vehemently opposed to his leadership and what they perceive as his orchestration of the violation of human rights. There is nothing new about ideological and political differences among African American activists. From the very beginning of the black Odyssey in America there was a split between those who favored returning to and those who believed we had a larg…
