Follow the author's odyssey from lumpen drug dealer
to prisoner, to revolutionary New Afrikan, a teacher
and mentor, one of a new generation rising of prison
intellectuals. This book consists primarily of letters
between Rashid and Outlaw, another revolutionary
New Afrikan prisoner, smuggled between the
segregation wing and general population over a
period of months. These comrades educate
themselves - and us as well - on Marxism and
Maoism, the Five-Percenters, Dialectical Materialism,
Dead Prez, Capitalism, Racism, Imperialism, Class
Struggle, Revolutionary Nationalism, New Afrikan
Independence, Psychology, and a host of other
subjects, as they grapple with how to promote
revolutionary consciousness in the most hostile of
environments. Rashid has been in prison for twenty
years - the past eighteen of which in segregation
(solitary confinement). Shortly after this
correspondence between himself and Outlaw, he and
his comrade Shaka Sankofa Zulu founded the New
Afrikan Black Panther Party Prison Chapter. The
NABPP-PC has since developed branches in various
prisons across the U.S. empire and has its own newsletter, Right On! A number of Rashid's
essays written as Minister of Defense of the NABPP-PC are also included in this book.

Kevin “Rashid” Johnson‟s book has some calling him “this generation‟s George Jackson,” the Black Panther and “Soledad Brother” assassinated in prison in 1971. Johnson, like Jackson, became a revolutionary behind bars, where he has spent over a decade in solitary confinement. Johnson presents “a powerful commentary on the failure of that which poses as political leadership in our world today” and of “revolutionary transformation while inside” the tomb of incarceration.
