Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

challenging dark emotional informative tense medium-paced

4.5

I'm deeply grateful to Adjei-Brenyah for the acknowledgement of humanity that is so often stripped from incarcerated peoples,  and for asking the ethical and moral questions that Americans desperately ignore. A much-needed dose of art as resistance for me. If you don't understand why abolition is key, read the chapter beginning on page 281.

"I thought of how the world can be anything and how sad it is that it's this." (227)
