| book description |

Essential radical texts by enslaved, jailed, and imprisoned Americans, edited by renowned political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal and activist-scholar Jennifer Black. â€œFilled with insight and energy, this extraordinary book gifts us the opportunity to encounter peopleâ€™s understanding of the fight for freedom from the inside out.â€â€”Ruth Wilson Gilmore, author of Golden Gulag and Abolition Geography â€œMartin Luther King told us what he saw when he went to the mountaintop....But thereâ€™s also the foot of the mountain, and there are also the regions beneath the surface. I want to try to tell you a little something about those regions.â€â€”Angela Y. Davis, author of Angela Davis: An Autobiography Beneath the Mountain is a readerâ€™s guide for understanding the evolution of anti-prison tenets. This essential core of primary texts provides an arc of insurgent writings by dissidents and revolutionaries who experienced incarceration and state terror first-hand. With contributions from John Brown, Frederick Douglass, and Crazy Horse, to Assata Shakur, Malcolm X, and Leonard Peltier, it also includes a previously unpublished communiquÃ© from Angela Davis, written from jail at the time when she was forging the anti-prison critique that has since inspired a national movement. Beneath the Mountain offers a record of the historic foundations for the contemporary abolition movement. What emerges from these texts is an emancipatory vision that inspires the work being done today, a vision centered on organizing and solidarity as an antidote to repression. An invaluable resource for readers on both sides of prison walls, this compendium of resistance and hard-won vision will be essential to all who seek to develop an abolitionist critique and to further an understanding of the nature of repression and liberation.
