A very readable and well-designed quarterly journal about indigenous peoples and prisons. Issue #11 "Maximum Security Democracy" has an excellent article by Ward Churchill on the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal and the International Tribunal held last year to examine his case. Ken Silverstein examines "America's Private Gulag" and the corporations that profit from prisons. Stephen Hartnett relates the history of prison labor and Javier Elorriaga interviews fellow inmate Rafael Lopez Santis about his experiences in Chiapas. Issue 10 "Sovereignty in the era of neoliberalism" includes Subcomandante Marcos on "Seven Loose Pieces of the Global Jigsaw Puzzle," Aziz Choudry on "APEC, Free Trade & 'Economic Sovereignty,'" and Ward Churchill analyzes "Subterfuge and 'Self-Determination:' Suppression of Indigenous Sovereignty in the Twentieth Century United States." Both issues include poetry and book reviews. One of the best magazines on prisons and indigenous issues that this reviewer has seen lately. [CM]
