Jailhouse Lawyersis a must-read for everyone connected in any fashion to the criminal justice system. It illuminates a dark area seen by few and outlines the legal battles still waged from the hole by the semantic warriors who inhabit it. The book plumbs the depth of mans inhumanity to man by exploring the ongoing legal attack by underground lawyers on an unfair legal system. Death-row prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, an award-winning journalist, once again demonstrates his courage in opposing the oppression of prison existence.
Tony Serra
Like the most powerful critics in our societyHerman Melville . . . to Eugene ONeilMumia Abu-Jamal forces us to grapple with the most fundamental question facing this country: what does it profit a nation to conquer the whole world and lose its soul?
Cornel West
His voice is vital and strong. . . . The power of his voice is rooted in his defiance of those determined to silence him. Magically, Mumias words are clarified, purified by the toxic strata of resistance through which they must penetrate to reach us. Like blues. Like jazz.
John Edgar Wideman
Brilliant in its specificity and imperative, Mumia Abu-Jamals work is about why multitudes of people dont overcome. It rings so true because he has not overcome.
LA Weekly
Abu-Jamal offers expert and well-reasoned commentary on the justice system. . . . His writings are dangerous.
Village Voice
Mumia refuses to allow his spirit to be broken by the forces of injustice; his language glows with an affirming flame.
Jonathan Kozol
Mumia is a dramatic example of how the criminal justice system can be brought to bear on someone who is African American, articulate, and involved in change in society. The system is threatened by someone like Mumia. A voice as strong and as truthful as histhe repression against him is intensified.
Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking
