A\u00c2\u00a0description of the book from the publisher of “Blackberry Juice” by Ralph Hamm:<\/p>\n
Blackberry Juice is an impressive collection of short stories, essays, poetry, and a full length play, from a remarkable man who has spent the greater part of his life in prison. It contains a wide range of his writing styles and subject matter that not only attest to his talent as a writer but also to his insight, vision, and intellect as a leader of stature in the prison reform movement and the black community in general. <\/span><\/p>\n It is a powerful book, not a palliative full of mellifluous words attempting to soften the implications of the harsh truths of racism in the justice system, too often ignored or simply dismissed as the work of an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153angry black man,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d merely playing the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153race card,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d rather it is a clear-eyed, analytical expos\u00c3\u00a9, by a gifted writer, of the realities and implications of racism for one prisoner who is in need of justice.
