Blood in my eye
Book • 1972
George Jackson's 'Blood in My Eye' is a powerful and unflinching account of his experiences in the California prison system.
Written while incarcerated, the book offers a searing critique of the prison-industrial complex and the systemic racism that permeates the U.S.
justice system.
Jackson details the brutal realities of prison life, including violence, oppression, and the dehumanization of prisoners.
He also articulates a radical political vision, advocating for revolutionary change and the dismantling of oppressive systems.
The book remains a crucial text for understanding the ongoing struggle for racial justice and prison reform.
