Cultural Writing. Politics. Prison Abolition. Edited by Matt Meyer.
Foreword by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel.
Afterwords by Lynne Stewart and Ashanti Alston. LET FREEDOM RING
presents a two-decade sweep of essays, analyses, histories,
interviews, resolutions, People's Tribunal verdicts, and poems by
and about the scores of U.S. political prisoners and the campaigns
to safeguard their rights and secure their freedom. In addition to
an extensive section on the campaign to free death-row journalist
Mumia Abu-Jamal, represented here are the radical movements that
have most challenged the U.S. empire from within: Black Panthers
and other Black liberation fighters, Puerto Rican independentistas,
Indigenous sovereignty activists, white anti-imperialists,
environmental and animal rights militants, Arab and Muslim
activists, Iraq war resisters, and others. Contributors in and out
of prison detail the repressive methods--from long-term isolation
to sensory deprivation to politically inspired parole denial--used
to attack these freedom fighters, some still caged after 30+ years.
This invaluable resource guide offers inspiring stories of the
creative, and sometimes winning, strategies to bring them home.
Contributors include: Mumia Abu-Jamal, Dan Berger, Dhoruba
Bin-Wahad, Bob Lederer, Terry Bisson, Laura Whitehorn, Safiya
Bukhari, The San Francisco 8, Angela Davis, Bo Brown, Bill Dunne,
Jalil Muntaqim, Susie Day, Luis Nieves Falcon, Ninotchka Rosca, Meg
Starr, Assata Shakur, Jill Soffiyah Elijah, Jan Susler, Chrystos,
Jose Lopez, Leonard Peltier, Marilyn Buck, Oscar Lopez Rivera,
Sundiata Acoli, Ramona Africa, Linda Thurston, Desmond Tutu,
Mairead Corrigan Maguire and many more.
