“In this brilliant, thoroughly researched book, Angela Davis swings a wrecking ball into the racist and sexist underpinnings of the American prison system. Her arguments are well wrought and restrained, leveling an unflinching critique of how and why more than 2 million Americans are presently behind bars, and the corporations who profit from their suffering.” —Former Rep. Cynthia McKinney [D-Georgia]

The book is accessible online, though we encourage participants who are able to purchase a copy of the book from Black-owned bookstores and read an online version while you wait for your physical copy.
