Summary

• "All Things Censored is Mumia Abu-Jamal's major new release with 79 writings many freshly composed by Mumia with the cartridge of a ball-point pen - the only implement he is allowed in his death-row cell." "Abu-Jamal writes on a host of topics, including the ironies that abound within the U.S. prison system, the consequences of those ironies for us all, and his own case.".
• "The title, All Things Censored, alludes to Mumia's hiring as an on-air columnist by National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," and subsequent banning from that venue under pressure from law and order groups."--BOOK JACKET.
