reviewed Prison Writings in 20th-Century America on August 23, 2012 Prison Writings in 20th-Century America
Overall excellent anthology. I don't understand why goodreads publishing info credits Tom Wicker,who wrote the foreword, and not H. Bruce Franklin, the editor. 60's generation leftist train spotters recognize Franklin as a co-founder of the Revolutionary Communist Party USA. He's matured, thankfully, into a thoughtful Marxist commentator on American popular culture and it's myths.
