Of Greed and Glory

In Of Greed and Glory, editor Deborah Plant presents a thought-provoking exploration of America's ongoing struggles with human bondage, drawing parallels between historical slavery and contemporary issues of incarceration. Highlighting the fundamental principles of freedom and equality, she examines the systemic violations of basic human rights faced by marginalized groups today, including her brother’s life sentence at Angola Prison. Inspired by Zora Neale Hurston's reflections on the complexities of the slave trade, Plant urges listeners to recognize and address injustices to achieve true personal sovereignty for all.
