Produktbeschreibung

Bang. The door to your cell is shut. You have survived the arrest, you are mad that you weren´t more careful, you worry that they will get others too, you wonder what will happen to your group and whether a lawyer has been called yet-of course you show none of this. The weapon, the fake papers, your own clothes, all gone. The prison garb and the shoes they´ve thrown at you are too big-maybe because they want to play silly games with you, maybe because they really blow terrorists out of proportion in their minds-and the control over your own appearance taken out of your hands. You look around, trying to get an understanding of where you´ll spend the next few years of your life.

Prison Round Trip was first published in German in 2003 as Einmal Knast und zurück. The essay´s author, Klaus Viehmann, had been released from prison ten years earlier, after completing a 15-year sentence for his involvement in urban guerilla activities in Germany in the 1970s. The essay was subsequently reprinted in various forums. It is a reflection on prison life and on how to keep one´s sanity and political integrity within the hostile and oppressive prison environment; survival strategies are its central theme.

Einmal Knast und zurück soon found an audience extending beyond Germany´s borders. Thanks to translations by comrades and radical distribution networks, it has since been eagerly discussed amongst political prisoners from Spain to Greece. This is the first time the text is available to a wider English-speaking audience.

Klaus´s take on survival strategy tells us we can not only survive thusly but can as well continue to serve the cause of liberation-which are really the same thing. We can be captured without giving in or giving up. -From the Preface by North American political prisoner Bill Dunne

When we think about how to sum up identity, we most likely think about such markers as nationality, religion, sexuality or skin colour. But how fitting are these labels to actually identify us? In his thought-provoking and well-argued book, Appiah sets out to demolish most of these identifiers, arguing that most people are much more diverse and can often lay claim to several or contradicting labels. Most of them date back to colonial times and may have lived out their usefulness ages ago. Drawing on history and sociology and often taking himself as an example, Appiah makes a strong and enlightening case for coming up with better terms in order to identify multi-faceted humanity.
