No More Prisons by William Upski Wimsatt
Author William Upski Wimsatt covers a truly remarkable array of topics and perspectives, all while recounting his own evolution from idealistic urban wanderer to community organizer, from graffiti writer to renowned essayist. Wimsatt delivers stories, strategies, suggestions, straight talk, and conversations with maverick activists. He advocates youth taking charge of their own education, whether it's in or out of school, and promotes the power of young people engaging in philanthropy. A truly original treatise from the paradigm-flipping theorist of youth activism, No More Prisons goes beyond pinpointing problems to hone in on solutions, and declares that today's youth is poised to surpass the activist efforts of the 1960s generation.William Upski Wimsatt is the author of two of the most popular underground classic books in a generation: Bomb The Suburbs and No More Prisoners (which have sold over 90,000 copies combined). Wimsatt has been featured in hundreds of publications and is a popular speaker at colleges and conferences. He is a maverick graffiti artist, journalist, political and humanitarian organizer. He co-founded the League of Young Voters, worked for Barack Obama in Ohio, co-organized the White House's first ever briefing of social justice artists, and was named a Visionary by Utne Magazine and a Power 30 by The Source. He is a resident of Brooklyn.
