Summary

1. "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.".
2. "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.
