Praise for Beneath the Mountain:
"Like America's dungeons, this book is full of caged freedom fighters, unfree radicals, and outlaw intellectuals, whose words, smuggled from behind prison bars and cages, offer a beautiful literary anti-canon of liberation."–David Correia, author of Violent Order: Essays on the Nature of Police
"This collection gives a compelling sense of insurgent spirits and critical minds enduring imprisonment and even facing death at the hands of powerful oppressors. These contributions have much to tell us about past and present realities that must be confronted. Mumia Abu-Jamal and Jennifer Black must be thanked for this precious gift - an inspiring resource for activists, scholars, and all who care about social justice and human rights."–Paul Le Blanc, editor of Black Liberation and the American Dream
Praise for Mumia Abu-Jamal:
"Prophet, critic, historian, witness . . . Mumia Abu-Jamal is one of the most insightful and consequential intellectuals of our era."–Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
"Mumia is a soldier in the war for the soul of America. He is fighting the good fight with the same weapons his ancestors fought with: words."–Nikki Giovanni, author of Black Feeling, Black Talk/Black Judgement
"Mumia Abu-Jamal forces us to confront the burden of history."–John Edgar Wideman, author of Look for Me and I'll Be Gone
"Uncompromising, disturbing . . . Abu-Jamal's voice has the clarity and candor of a man whose impending death emboldens him to say what is on his mind without fear of consequence."–The Boston Globe
