In Death Blossoms: Reflections from a Prisoner of Conscience Mumia AbuJamal, Americas best known political prisoner, offers poetic observations and reflections on life on this planet and on death row. In this collection of short essays and personal vignettes, which take on everything from spirituality and religion to capitalism and the prisonindustrial complex, Mumia examines the deeper dimensions of existence.Mumias ability to celebrate life and advocate for revolutionary change while being held, at the states convenience, at deaths door, imbues his thoughts and words with power and passion. 'Many people say it is insane to resist the system, but actually, it is insane not to,' he writes in 'Politics.' In 'GodTalk on Phase II' he writes, 'On deaths brink, men begin to see things theyve perhaps never seen before. Like those around them, and especially those who share their fatemen whose death warrants have been signed, men with a date to dielive each day with a clarity and a vibrancy they might have lacked in less pressured times.'Mumia turns this clarity towards his quest for spiritual and social fulfillment drawing connections between religion and race politics. He embraces spirituality while exploring the true nature of the institutions that have sentenced him to die.'Crucial reading for all opponents of the death penaltyand for those who support it, too.'Katha Pollitt, The Nation'A brilliant, lucid meditation on the moral obligation of political commitment by a deeply ethicaland deeply wrongedhuman being. Mumia should be freed, now.'Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'If Mumia AbuJamal has nothing important to say, why are so many powerful people trying to kill him and shut him up? Read him.'John Edgar WidemanMumia AbuJamal, an awardwinning journalist and former Black Panther Party member, has been living on death row in a Pennsylvania prison since 1982.
