Christian Parenti is the author of Lockdown America: Police and Prisons
in the Age of Crisis. Parenti teaches sociology, political economy and
journalism at the New College of California in San Francisco.  His writings 
have appeared in many newspapers, magazines and journals, such as The 
Christian 
Science Monitor, The Nation, Salon, The New Statesman (UK), California 
Lawyer, 
Toronto Now, The Progressive, Z Magazine, The Baffler and In These Times. He 
has worked as a radio journalist in San Francisco, New York and Central 
America. He attended the New School of Social Research in New York and 
received 
a PhD. from the London School of Economics. His areas of concentration are 
Urban Studies, Political-economic history and criminology.

"The central moral and political struggle of the new century will be
the battle against the ever-expanding police state.  I predict that
Christian Parenti's new book will do for the movement against the 'prison
industrial complex' what Rachel Carson's Silent Spring did for the movement
against environmental devastation.  Parenti has penned our first manifesto."
