Law & Disorder

Using Dystopian Futures of the Prison System to Motivate Action Now; Plus, Resistance in Residence Artist Mia Pixley

On today’s show, we’re in conversation with award winning author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah about his brand new book Chain Gang All Stars, a novel imagining a near-future where the prison industrial complex has developed a gruesome and widely popular reality show where prisoners are pitted against each other in gladiator death matches. We talk about the story, but also about how readers can use it to imagine an abolitionist future.
