Book Reviews of Live from Death Row
Book Review: A CALL FOR OPEN EYES, HEARTS, HANDS, AND MINDS!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mumia's book is not a selfish effort to save himself from execution. Rather, he is the voice of the voiceless who speaks on countless issues, from police brutality to the environment, the prison system to the criminalization of youth. To dismiss this book as solely for leftist "idealists" is absurd. What does left and right mean when it comes to someone who is given nowhere to go but down? Please open your mind, look at the facts, and be your own judge. So many people are doing that, and support for Mumia is growing as he nears execution. This book will surely be one of our childrens' history texts one day, as those spat upon today are the heroes of tomorrow.
