BARRACOON: THE STORY OF THE LAST “BLACK CARGO" is the firsthand account of the life of Oluale “Cudjo Lewis” Kossola. The text was developed by anthropologist and creative writer Hurston, who balances Cudjo’s voice alongside her framing narrative.

Noname Book Club is a Black-led worker cooperative connecting community members both inside and outside carceral facilities with radical books. Each month, we uplift two books written by Black, indigenous, and other people of color. We believe building community through political education is crucial for our liberation and should be accessible to everyone—which is why all our programming is free, including the books we send to incarcerated homies.
