Mumia Abu-Jamal

Folder MAJ Columns English
Mumia Abu-Jamal has written many hundreds of columns by now. They are regularly posted on the website of the International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal (ICFFMAJ), www.mumia.org. They are reposted here in chronological order and in Word format, sometimes with pictures added by myself. I hope that this gives activists a tool to spread Mumia Abu-Jamal's words "far and wide" (Alice Walker), contributing to a better understanding of the world in which we live and to the struggle for Abu-Jamal's freedom.

File Lies Our Cop Propagandists Told Us
Posted March 16, 2006. In the previous posting, I commented on the Fraternal Order of Police's continuing campaign to have Mumia Abu-Jamal executed. In the meantime, ex-MOVE sympathizer turned fanatical MOVE hater Tony Allen has commented on my comments, joining the anti-Abu-Jamal campaign of the FOP. Unfortunately, Allen's comments are driven by a vicious and sick hatred that clouds all sober reasoning. But judge for yourself. I have answered these comments to set the factual record straight.

File Race Against Death, with two thirds of a new chapter
Posted April 28, 2006. Right in time for the U.S. trip of Mumia activists Annette, Monika, and myself, the latest version of my book in PDF. A very interesting film is being made right now in close connection with the book - centered on the experiences of a young man who was born on the same day Mumia Abu-Jamal was arrested! Please note that what is posted here is work in progress, so don't quote it as if it were finished. Criticism, suggestions and comments of all sorts are warmly recommended, however. My hope is to find an American publisher right in time to do something for achieving justice for Abu-Jamal - and so many others, who were mainly convicted because they were "ethnic," poor, and/or radical. Comments of any sort please to mikschiff@t-online.de. Note that I'm away until May 15, but after that day, I will take note of and answer to everything I receive.

Bei diesem am 1. April 2003 abgeschlossenen Manuskript handelt es sich um meine Magister- und dann Doktorarbeit. Sie wurde mit dem Ziel einer Veröffentlichung geschrieben und wird hoffentlich dazu beitragen, das zu erkämpfen, was in ihrem Untertitel genannt ist: "das Leben und die Freiheit Mumia Abu-Jamals". Daher suche ich sowohl für die hier vorliegende englische Originalversion als auch für eine anstehende deutsche Übersetzer nach Verlegern. Im Augenblick arbeite ich an einem ausführlichen Nachwort, das bis zum 1. August 2005 abgeschlossen sein wird und die Ereignisse der letzten Jahre sowie die wachsende Zahl der Beweise für die Unschuld Mumia Abu-Jamal behandelt.
