Publisher's summary

A national best-selling author and founder of the TransAfrica forum, Randall Robinson is one of the most respected voices of the African-American community. In this powerful book, he convincingly argues that African Americans must fight the growing presence of modern prisons, which hold an alarmingly disproportionate number of Black inmates.

Extraordinary and prophetic work

I regret not having read this earlier in my life. It represents profound understanding of how we reached
Our current situation in the United States.
