monat2 's review for:
Soledad Brother: The Prison Letters of George Jackson
by George L. Jackson
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
“blood in my eye” by george jackson was one of those foundational leftist texts that radicalized me in college. ive been meaning to read this one for awhile now— which covers about 6 years of his letters to various people (family, friends, comrades) while in prison. though it read a little disjointedly, it was FASCINATING to witness his relationship / communication with his parents who still believe in america’s assimilationist neoliberal promise, how his prison education evolved over time, how his views on issues (esp on women) changed over time, etc. jackson writes POWERFULLY, with a fiery punch and palpable rage— too many fire quotes in here to list out.
