"Co-authored by inmates in a maximum security prison, The Soul Knows No Bars is a unique book. It explores the dynamics of power, violence, race, and sexuality, as well as the lights of spirit possible even in a prison cell. Texts from Nietzsche, Foucault, and other contemporary philosophers stimulate "lifers" to reflect on their experiences. Drew Leder's groundbreaking work has been featured in the Washington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Chicago Tribune, and the national media."--BOOK JACKET.
