Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 There has been a long history of Americans trying to figure out how to deal with unjust laws and the oppressive social order that they emanate from. The conservative uses visions of impending anarchy to justify his demand for absolute obedience. The liberal always seeks redress through electoral channels.
#2 The Underground Railroad was a series of illegal activities conducted by many people, both Black and white, to rescue fugitive slaves from the clutches of slave-catchers.
#3 The political prisoner’s offense is his political boldness, his persistent challenging of fundamental social wrongs fostered and reinforced by the state. He has opposed unjust laws and exploitative, racist social conditions with the ultimate aim of transforming these laws and this society into an order harmonious with the material and spiritual needs and interests of the vast majority of its members.
#4 The significance of the executions of Nat Turner and John Brown wasn’t just that they were punished for specific crimes, but that they were used to terrorize the anti-slavery movement as a whole.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

There has been a long history of Americans trying to figure out how to deal with unjust laws and the oppressive social order that they emanate from. The conservative uses visions of impending anarchy to justify his demand for absolute obedience. The liberal always seeks redress through electoral channels.

#2

The Underground Railroad was a series of illegal activities conducted by many people, both Black and white, to rescue fugitive slaves from the clutches of slave-catchers.

#3

The political prisoner’s offense is his political boldness, his persistent challenging of fundamental social wrongs fostered and reinforced by the state. He has opposed unjust laws and exploitative, racist social conditions with the ultimate aim of transforming these laws and this society into an order harmonious with the material and spiritual needs and interests of the vast majority of its members.

#4

The significance of the executions of Nat Turner and John Brown wasn’t just that they were punished for specific crimes, but that they were used to terrorize the anti-slavery movement as a whole.

#5

The legal system and the penal system are key weapons in the state’s fight to preserve the existing conditions of class domination, racism, poverty, and war.

#6

The prison system is a key component of the state’s coercive apparatus. It was originally projected as the location for doing penitence for an offense against society, but has actually operated as an instrument of class domination.

#7

The lumpenproletariat, which is made up of the unemployed, is a potential resource for revolutionary organizations. The role of the unemployed in revolutionary struggle should be given serious thought.

#8

The Folsom Prisoners’ Manifesto of Demands and Anti-Oppression Platform reflects a clear understanding of the structures of oppression within the prison, which contradict the avowed function of the penal institution.

#9

The point is this: the ruling circles of America are expanding and intensifying repressive measures designed to nip revolutionary movements in the bud as well as to curtail radical-democratic tendencies, such as the movement to end the war in Indo-China.

#10

Racist oppression affects Black people in many different ways. The police are there to intimidate Blacks and make us feel powerless, but they also serve the interests of our oppressors.

#11

The police, courts, and prison system are all connected to the poverty in the Black community. The Black individual is inevitably going to encounter the law-enforcement-judicial-penal network, since he is Black, because contact with the system is inevitable for Black people as a group.

#12

The Black Liberation Movement is presently at a critical juncture. Fascist methods of repression threaten to physically decapitate and obliterate the movement. However, the movement must be anti-fascist to survive.

#13

The fight against fascism in its incipient phases must be fought tooth and nail, for once allowed to grow, it becomes extremely difficult to stop its expansion. The masses of people in this country have a direct and material stake in the struggle to free political prisoners, abolish the prison system as it is currently constituted, and fight all forms of racism.

#14

The American prison system is a system that is trying to achieve unmitigated totalitarianism. The prisoners’ demands at Attica were very political, and they wanted to be treated as political prisoners rather than criminals.

#15

The Attica prison revolt was a demonstration of the power of the prisoners’ new consciousness. It showed that the brutal killing of George Jackson fell short of its repressive aim. It demonstrated that ruling circles are powerless to suppress the human kernel behind prison walls.
