Book Reviews of Blood in My Eye

Book Review: Mythology
Summary: 2 Stars

To place this book in perspective, it should be read with "The Rise and Fall of California's Radical Prison Movement" which gives a more accurate and less flattering portrait of Jackson as a petty hustler and con-artist. There are no subtle insights here, just overheated and dated rhetoric about "the fascist beast" and "Amerikkka." Prisons are not hotbeds of potential anti-capitalism but where the worse aspects of present day society are leached into their most destructive and poisonous forms. Only in exceptional circumstances, like Attica, do these circumstances get overturned.

As Max Stirner pointed out more than a century and a half ago, criminals are those most dominated by spooks; even as they break laws, they worship property because they want to make it their own, a more profound insight whose validity anyone who spends any real time around petty street criminals can testify to.
