Orisanmi Burton, Damon Locks & Maryam Kashani in conversation.
Orisanmi Burton's new book Tip of the Spear boldly and compellingly argues that prisons are a domain of hidden warfare within US borders... Packed with little known insights from the prison movement, the Black Panther Party, and the Black Liberation Army, Ithis book promises to transform our understanding of prisons— not only as sites of race war and class war, of counterinsurgency and genocide, but also as sources of defiant Black life, revolutionary consciousness, and abolitionist possibility.
