"Rattling the Cages." An Oral History of North America's Political Prisoners w/ Josh Davidson (G&R 263)

In our latest episode, Scott talks with Josh Davidson (@certaindays) co-editor of "Rattling the Cages," about his new oral history of political prisoners in North America. Josh, along with co-editor Eric King, has put together over 35 interviews of political prisoners and former political prisoners. From members of the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Front to whistle-blower Chelsea Manning to members of SHAC and the Earth Liberation Front, the book dives into life on the inside for people with radical politics. We hope to capture a bit of that in the interview.
