Rebel Speak

"""Prison activist Bryonn Bain presents a diverse and eye-opening series of discussions on mass incarceration, racial profiling, and other criminal justice issues. Describing the book as a ‘dialogue-centered mixtape,’ Bain pays homage throughout to the hip-hop culture that inspired and informed his activism. . . . A powerful and intimate look at the fight for a more equitable and compassionate justice system."" * Publishers Weekly * “Coming at a time when those who benefit from white supremacy are attacking critical race theory and Black perspectives generally, Rebel Speak is an impassioned addition to conversations about how America was designed to harm Black citizens—and how it continues to do so.” * Foreword Reviews * “Rebel Speak: A Justice Movement Mixtape certainly captures the right vibe, from the cover image of a hand-labeled cassette tape, to the tracklist-style table of contents, to the way the author uses each chapter to pass the mic to people he admires. Rebel Speak features the voices of high-profile artists and activists alongside those of formerly incarcerated men and women to highlight the big issues of justice in society.” * KCET-TV Online * ""Throughout his book, Bain uses his and his subjects’ personal perspectives to explore more universal ideas of effective alternatives to mass incarceration."" * Pittsburgh Post-Gazette *"
