“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.”
This memoir is a riveting page-turner.

dinasamimi's review against another edition
5.0
Powerful read. It is incredible to read this in 2021 when so much and so little has changed. I loved the poetry interspersed, the joint narratives of political evolution and imprisonment/prosecution, the glimpse into the NYC, Rikers, etc. of another era. Up there with Malcom X on political histories/manifestos.
