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Frederick Douglass, and Crazy Horse, to Assata Shakur, Malcolm X, and Leonard Peltier, it also includes a previously unpublished communiqué from Angela Davis, written from jail at the time when she was forging the anti-prison critique that has since inspired a national movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeneath the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mumia Abu-Jamal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42960095051894,"sku":"9780872869264","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_427dcd6b-1882-473b-b67f-2eb18fc7f13f.jpg?v=1767788047","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/beneath-the-mountain-an-anti-prison-reader-9780872869264","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
