      abstract = {"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"--},
