Davis, and others has made clear, education in prison has enabled people to rethink systems of oppression. Courses in reading and writing help incarcerated students feel a sense of community, examine the past and present, and imagine a better future. Yet incarcerated students often lack the resources, materials, information, and opportunity to pursue their coursework, and training is not always available for those who teach incarcerated students. This volume will aid both new and experienced instructors by providing strategies for developing courses, for creating supportive learning environments, and for presenting and publishing incarcerated students' scholarly and creative work. It also suggests approaches to self-care designed to help instructors sustain their work. Essays incorporate the perspectives of both incarcerated and non-incarcerated teachers and students, centering critical prison studies scholarship and abolitionist perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains discussion of Mumia Abu-Jamal's \u003cem\u003eLive from Death Row\u003c\/em\u003e, Marita Bonner's \u003cem\u003eThe Purple Flower\u003c\/em\u003e, Suzanne Collins's \u003cem\u003eThe Hunger Games\u003c\/em\u003e, Mary Shelley's \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e, and William Shakespeare's \u003cem\u003eThe Taming of the Shrew\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOthello\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction, by Sheila Smith McKoy and Patrick Elliot Alexander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: Purposes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiotous Study: Black Studies, Academic Unfreedom, and Surveilled Pedagogy in Prison Education, by Jess A.
