We'd like to share a few recent mentions of UT Press books in the news: Bruce
Jackson’s documentation of prisons and the death penalty in the US
contributed to France abolishing capital punishment 30 years ago. To
recognize his work, the French government recently awarded Jackson L’Ordre National du Mérite (National Order of Merit), the country’s
second-highest honor after the Légion d’honneur. Last month, Mother Jones featured Bruce's book Inside the Wire in a slideshow:
- Jeremy Lybarger of Mother Jones says of Inside the Wire,
"Although many of the men pictured were convicted of brutal crimes,
Jackson imbues them with dignity, or at least a degree of stoicism." View the slideshow on motherjones.com>> - Donna De Cesare's Unsettled/Desasosiego also graced a slideshow on Mother Jones. View the slideshow on motherjones.com>>
