From the forced labor camps of the nineteenth century to the rebellious protests of the 1960s and 1970s to the rise of mass incarceration and its discontents, Rethinking the American Prison Movement is invaluable to anyone interested in the history of American prisons and the struggles for justice still echoing in the present day.

Dan Berger and Toussaint Losier show that prisoners have used strikes, lawsuits, uprisings, writings, and diverse coalitions with free-world allies to challenge prison conditions and other kinds of inequality.

In this pathbreaking book, Dan Berger offers a bold reconsideration of twentieth century black activism, the prison system, and the origins of mass incarceration. Throughout the civil rights era, black activists thrust the prison into public view, turning prisoners into symbols of racial oppression while arguing that confinement was an inescapable part of black life in the United States. Black prisoners became global political icons at a time when notions of race and nation were in flux. Showing that the prison was a central focus of the black radical imagination from the 1950s through the 1980s, Berger traces the dynamic and dramatic history of this political struggle. The prison shaped the rise and spread of black activism, from civil rights demonstrators willfully risking arrests to the many current and former prisoners that built or joined organizations such as the Black Panther Party. Grounded in extensive research, Berger engagingly demonstrates that such organizing made prison walls porous and influenced generations of activists that followed.

A new history of Black Liberation, told through the intertwined story of two grassroots organizers \nThe Black Power movement, often associated with its iconic spokesmen, derived much of its energy from the work of people whose stories have never been told. Stayed On Freedom brings into focus two unheralded Black Power activists who dedicated their lives to the fight for freedom.\nZoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons fell in love while organizing tenants and workers in the South. Their commitment to each other and to social change took them on a decades-long journey that traversed first the country and then the world. In centering their lives, historian Dan Berger shows how Black Power united the local and the global across organizations and generations.\nBased on hundreds of hours of interviews, Stayed On Freedom is a moving and intimate portrait of two people trying to make a life while working to make a better world.

Dust jacket notes: "California's Napa Valley has gained worldwide acclaim for the quality of its wines, and to many American Napa has come to symbolize the phrase 'wine country.' Some visitors to this verdant, enchanted area see it as a place where a peaceful lifestyle is still possible. Others view it as the home of opulence and glitz, peopled by folk more suited for features in Fortune than the Old Farmer's Almanac. It's true that lives in the Napa Valley often spring from someone's dream. But what is the reality like? In Beyond the Grapes: An Inside Look at Napa Valley wine writers Dan Berger and Richard Paul Hinkle uncork the wineries to discover the flavors of the people behind the celebrated wines they have created. Berger and Hinkle capture the essence of these special souls who came to the Napa Valley from lives as diverse as eye surgeon and auto mechanic, fighter pilot and truck farmer, rising entrepreneur and peaceful retiree. The way they interact and the tales they have to tell show that it is the growers and winemakers who make the wine industry so fascinating. Photographs by Eric Sander, taken at the 97 wineries included within these pages, bring the history, excitement, artistry, and toil of Napa Valley brilliantly to each page, taking you truly beyond the grapes."

An accessible yet wide-ranging historical primer, The Struggle Within discusses how mass imprisonment has been a state-sponsered tool of repression deployed against diverse, left-wing social movements over the last 50 years. Author Dan Berger goes on to examine some of the most dynamic social movements across half a century, including black liberation, Puerto Rican independence, Native American sovereignty, Chicano radicalism, white antiracist and working-class mobilizations, pacifist and antinuclear campaigns, earth liberation, and animal rights. Berger’s encyclopedic knowledge of social movements in the United States provides a rich comparative history of numerous campaigns that continue to shape contemporary politics. The book also offers a little-heard voice in contemporary critiques of mass incarceration by investigation how mass incarcerations have occurred within a slew of social movements that have provided steep challenges to state power.
