Labour Monthly reviewer William J. Pomeroy called the book "perhaps the most shattering indictment yet to appear of the repression by the American state of black militants".[2] Robert Chrisman of The Black Scholar found it "a brilliant and comprehensive collection [...] on the revolutionary struggle of black prisoners against the repressive machinery of prisons and the court system".[1] The Sun-Reporter's Gwen Evans praised it for "brilliant statements on the right of self-representation and lucid political analysis".[8] Loyle Hairston of New York Amsterdam News highlighted contributor Ruchell Magee—who was involved in the Marin County Civic Center attacks—as "the most moving personality in the book". Hairston also lauded the "depth of [Davis'] humanity, the force of her eloquence [and] the fierceness of her integrity".[9]

The British writer Benjamin Zephaniah wrote that the book was an influence on him as a teenager. Though he found the book difficult to follow, he said that "Angela Davis taught me that I did not have to tolerate the racism that I was suffering in the playground [...] I was not alone", adding that "it was in this book that I first came across the word 'Solidarity', then I realised the importance of working together".[10]

Of course conix says because Davis is a Marxist she has nothing to say of any worth. Whereas Trump well known for decades as a liar and a cheat, well you conix and others still voted for him.

No wonder America is in such a pickle.
