Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A powerful and insightful (Cyntoia Brown-Long, author of>Free Cyntoia) memoir in the vein of Just Mercy and>The Sum of Us>that upends our understanding about the future of policing in the United States and explores how we can begin healing from systemic injustice. In 2012, nineteen-year-old Leon Ford was shot five times by a Pittsburgh police officer during a racially charged traffic stop stemming from a case of mistaken identity. When he woke up in the hospital, he was faced with two life-changing realities: he was a new father, and he was paralyzed from the waist down. Leon found the only way to move forward was to let go of his bitterness and learn to practice forgiveness. Now, in this memoir and manifesto, Leon illustrates how this harrowing experience has inspired a deep reckoning with the issues his community is facing, not only with police brutality, but also an epidemic of street violence, toxic masculinity and its impact on Black fatherhood, and the lack of disability rights and mental health access in disenfranchised communities. In the wake of countless similar shootings across the country, Leon details how he turned towards social activism, dedicating himself to bridging the gap between the police and the communities they are supposed to serve. With a voice filled with healing, triumph, and resilience (Shaka Senghor, bestselling author of>Writing My Wrongs), Ford offers fresh, counterintuitive ways we can effect social change. Leon shows us how, together, we can move away from retribution and towards transformative justice in order to end police brutality and heal as a country. As he once said, Lead with love. Start compassionate conversations even with individuals and systems that have caused you pain. I know from experience that you can make your pain purposeful.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Iskra Books is honored to present the latest in our Red Poetry Series, the brilliant and poignant Letters of Gratitude: I Am Because We Are, by Leon Benson. Benson, who spent twenty-five years wrongfully incarcerated by the state of Indiana, only recently having been exonerated of all charges, penned these letters from behind the prison wall, in gratitude for his life, his eventual freedom, his innocence, and the support of those who loved him. In the preface to Letters of Gratitude, educational theorist Derek R. Ford writes that we must '[r]ead how Leon moves from the (now) indisputable fact that his decades in prison ([including] one decade spent in torturous conditions) were due solely to a racist, capitalist system to the desire to build common unity with the recipients. The system he identifies and the techniques it's developed over centuries now to repress-that is to re-press, to press again, to mold-our state of mind into resignation and hatred, isn't denied or bypassed but acknowledged and transcended. It's like watching water flowing over a rock to reach the goal that we're raised not to be able to see or conceptualize: justice for all.' Real justice for all begins with abolition-an abolition understood most deeply, and perhaps only, by those who have been directly wronged by the racist, capitalist system. Benson is one all abolitionists must listen to; the words of an insider-poetic, unbroken, shining from behind physical bars-allow those of us on the outside an opportunity to glimpse the profound state of gratitude and courage we all must cultivate in the struggle for a better world, for real justice.…
