In tracing the social, political, and moral evolution of a truly extraordinary individual, I Am Maroon also attests to the ongoing maturation of a movement in which the vision of freedom becomes increasingly more expansive. The story of Russell Shoatz reveals that the quest for Black liberation demands disentanglement from its pernicious embrace of heteropatriarchy. It also reveals the ultimate kinship of all struggles for freedom.” —Angela Y. Davis, feminist activist, scholar, and author of many books, including Freedom Is a Constant Struggle
“An epic tale told with ferocity and nuance, wit and grace; a tale of freedom as much as a story of imprisonment.” —Leslie Jamison, New York Times–bestselling author of the Empathy Exams
“Shoatz lived his entire life trying to effect changes within the system! We honor him by imitating and acknowledging this.” —Robert H. King, last surviving member of the Angola Three
