"This book uses the landmark case Jones v. North Carolina Prisoners' Labor Union to
examine the strategies of prison inmates using race and radicalism to inspire the
formation of an inmate labor union. It thus rekindles the debate over the triumphs
and troubles associated with the use of Black Power as a platform for influencing
legal policy and effecting change for inmates. While the ideology of the prison rights
movement was complex, it rested on the underlying principle that the right to organize,
and engage in political dissidence, was not only a First Amendment right guaranteed
to free blacks, but one that should be explicitly guaranteed to captive blacks--a
point too often overlooked in previous analyses. Ultimately, this seminal case study
not only illuminates the history of Black Power but that of the broader prisoners'
rights movement as well"
