Rattling the Cages: Oral Histories of North American Political Prisoners

"Rattling the Cages: Oral Histories of North American Political Prisoners," releasing on December 5, 2023, confronts the often overlooked reality of political imprisonment in North America. Co-authored by abolitionist Josh Davidson and political prisoner Eric King, this profound collection brings together the voices of over thirty individuals who have been incarcerated due to their political beliefs and actions. From former sixties radicals to modern-day activists, their compelling narratives expose the harsh realities of the prison system and its clash with political activism. Highlighting figures such as Chelsea Manning and Jalil Muntaqim, the book illustrates a rich tapestry of resistance, echoing Angela Davis's advocacy for criminal and racial justice. Ideal for adult education settings, this book not only educates but serves as a powerful call to scrutinize and reform our criminal justice systems.
