DESCRIPTION:Come and join Revolution Books in welcoming Eddy Zheng author of "OTHER: An 
 Asian & Pacific Islander Prisoners' Anthology".\n\nThis anthology of work 
 by Asian and Pacific Islander (API) prisoners is the first book to 
 highlight the unique stories and perspectives of this growing prisoner 
 population in the U.S. In total, 22 talented API prisoner writers, poets, 
 and artists have contributed to this anthology, which was initiated and 
 co-edited by Eddy Zheng, who was recently released from prison and 
 immigration detention after over two decades behind bars. \nThrough 
 original poetry, vignettes, essays, first-hand narratives, interviews, and 
 drawings, these prisoners cover topics such as the factors that led to 
 their incarceration, the cruelty that occurs in prisons and immigration 
 detention jails, and the harsh reality of deportation that awaits many API 
 prisoners. By offering readers a glimpse into their innermost fears, 
 regrets, and dreams, these prisoners have contributed an important voice to 
 our society's discussion around race, immigration, and prison issues. 
 Contributors to this anthology are Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino, Hmong, 
 Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Mien, Tongan, and Vietnamese; some are 
 immigrant, refugees, indigenous or adopted. One is transgender, another is 
 female.\n\n\n\n\n\n
