Link Life: A Study in Humanity
A chain gang—a group of prisoners that are often Black American working as a punishment. These prisoners were linked together like the chains they wore and prevented anyone from escaping. Much like in Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah’s Chain-Gang All-Stars, the Links of the Chain are tied together. Every action and reaction resulting in consequences for the whole.
Book Review: Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
This is a novel about being a warrior, a gladiator in a modern age. Everything from the action-packed battles of life and death to the adoring spectators that will just as soon cheer for your victory as your downfall. This is the story about surviving the prison system and the definition of what it means to be human.
