A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, "Soledad Brother" is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down. A catalogue of letters written to family, friends and lawyers over many years of imprisonment in which Jackson details with exceptional clarity and passion, the intricacies of his political and moral philosophies. As well as being a polemic against the capitalist and racist American political system, Jackson's letters also shed light on many aspects of daily life within prison and solitary confinement. A marvellous book which is in turns inspiring and upsetting, but full of conviction throughout. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
