nerd teacher [books] reviewed We Want Freedom by Mumia Abu-Jamal
Interesting for the Memoir
4 stars
Overwhelmingly, I don't want to comment too much on what was written. It's an interesting memoir that I think speaks largely for itself. There's a lot of areas where I wish more analysis took place and less apologetics for their behaviours. (For example: Yes, I do agree and believe that the intelligence agencies of the State were fucking with people to cause problems, but I also think that if those people didn't have certain views of their roles and of how things should be structured... some of it would've worked less well—I also highlight this because it makes it easy for things that should be cause for concern to go overlooked because people will claim they're being whatever-jacketed when they really aren't.)
