mumia abu jamal - buchpräsentation

Buchpräsentation: "Wettlauf gegen den Tod - Mumia Abu-Jamal - Ein schwarzer Revolutionär im weißen Amerika" von Dr. Michael Schiffmann (Universität Heidelberg)

am Samstag, 13. Jänner 2007 um 20 Uhr im im Büro der Grünen Wels, Rainerstraße 8, 4600 Wels (Dienstag, 16.01, 19 Uhr in Graz, Grüne Akademie, Paulustorgasse 3/1)

Seit 1982 sitzt der heute 52jährige afroamerikanische Journalist und Mitgründer der Black Panther Party, Mumia Abu-Jamal, in der Todeszelle, seit den 1990er Jahren wird um die Wiederaufnahme seines Verfahrens gekämpft. Michael Schiffmann rollt in seinem Buch nicht nur den Kriminalfall auf, sondern untersucht auch die Hintergründe, die trotz brüchigem Beweismaterial und massiven Widersprüchen in der Anklage zu dieser Verurteilung führten: der alltägliche Rassismus in den USA, die Klassenspaltung in den Großstädten und die periodischen Hexenjagden der Polizei auf politisch Andersdenkende. Vor allem das US-Justizsystem, insbesondere die Todesstrafe, werden in Frage gestellt und Mumia Abu-Jamal so zur personifizierten Anklage gegen die Maßnahmen dieser Strafjustiz.

homeland and hip hop

homeland and hip hop feat. mumia abu-jamal


To think about the origins of hip hop in this culture and also about homeland security is to see that there are at the very least two worlds in America. One of the well-to-do and the struggling. For if ever there was the absence of homeland security it is seen in the gritty roots of hip hop. For the music arises from a generation that feels with some justice that they have been betrayed by those who came before them. That they are at best tolerated in schools, feared on the streets, and almost inevitably destined for the hell holes of prison. They grew up hungry, hated and unloved. And this is the psychic fuel that seems to generate the anger that seems endemic in much of the music and poetry. One senses very little hope above the personal goals of wealth and the climb above the pit of poverty. In the broader society the opposite is true, for here more than any place on earth wealth is more wide spread and so bountiful. What passes for the middle class in America could pass for the upper class in most of the rest of the world. They're very opulent and relative wealth makes the insecure. And homeland security is a governmental phrase that is as oxymoronic, as crazy as saying military intelligence, or the U.S Department of Justice. They're just words that have very little relationship to reality. And do you feel safer now? Do you think you will anytime soon? Do you think duck tape and Kleenex and color codes will make you safer? From Death row this is Mumia Abu Jamal
