Prison/Culture book now available from City Lights!!
San Francisco State University and Intersection for the Arts have collaborated on this stunning new release from City Lights. Please join us on May 6th, 7pm for a book launch party at City Lights' North Beach location, 261 Columbus Avenue at Broadway.
Over two million individuals are behind bars in U.S. prisons, living in isolation from their families and their communities. Prison/Culture investigates the culture of incarceration as an integral part of the American experience through a compilation of stunning and often heartrending art by inmates, as well as artists on the outside, such as Sandow Birk and Keith Antar Mason, who address incarceration, criminal profiling, wrongful conviction, prison labor, and the death penalty. The book also includes essays on prisons and prison art by Angela Davis and Mike Davis, and poetry by Amiri Baraka, Ericka Huggins, Luis Rodriguez, Sesshu Foster, and more.
