Death Blossoms | Praise

Praise for Mumia Abu-Jamal and his essays:

"Crucial reading for all opponents of the death penalty - and for those who support it, too."
Katha Pollitt, The Nation

" A brilliant, lucid meditation on the moral obligation of political commitment by a deeply ethical-and deeply wronged-human being. Mumia should be freed, now."
—Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

"If Mumia Abu-Jamal has nothing important to say, why are so many powerful people trying to kill him and shut him up? Read him."
— John Edgar Wideman

"…I can only urge that the message of this potential victim be listened to with urgency, and with the fullest commitment to justice."
— Wole Soyinka, Nobel Laureate
