This book is extraordinary. It's a glass of cool water for all those who, like me, often feel stranded in the barren desert of contemporary political discourse. Marc and Mumia's brilliance, candor, openness, humor, and insight will rejuvenate and nourish you- while also challenging you to think more deeply, more honestly and more courageously about our individual experience and our collective struggle for genuine liberation.

The Classroom and the Cell allows us to see how we are captured in the daily grind of our lives and how, while even on death row, brilliance breaks through and takes us to school. Complex, provocative, and deeply moving, Mumia Abu-Jamal and Marc Lamont Hill exemplify the power of loving, democratic conversation in the service of fundamental change.
