I hope the younger generation, black and white, will read \u003ci\u003eSoledad Brother\u003c\/i\u003e.\" \u003cb\u003e--Howard Zinn\u003c\/b\u003e, author, \u003ci\u003eA People's History of the United States\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A collection of Jackson's letters from prison, \u003ci\u003eSoledad Brother\u003c\/i\u003e is an outspoken condemnation of the racism of white America and a powerful appraisal of the prison system that failed to break his spirit but eventually took his life. \u003cbr\u003e Jackson's letters make palpable the intense feelings of anger and rebellion that filled black men in America's prisons in the 1960s. But even removed from the social and political firestorms of the 1960s, Jackson's story still resonates for its portrait of a man taking a stand even while locked down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556522304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556522307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Hill Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1995","brand":"George Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055261577471,"sku":"9781556522307","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bda0c0ba-f72a-422a-b02e-39ee71954c30.jpg?v=1685034649","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soledad-brother-george-jackson-9781556522307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
