Just Published: Two Books on Sami Al-Arian

The Tampa Bay Coalition for Justice and Peace is proud to announce that two books on Dr. Sami Al-Arian have been published and are available for purchase on amazon.com (see below for more information).

"Shackled Dreams," a biography which details the life and work of Al-Arian, contains illuminating interviews, speeches and articles by the former professor. Among the contributers to the book are Peter Erlinder, law profesor and former president of the National Lawyers Guild; Dr. Agha Saeed, a leader in the American Muslim community; and professor Charles Butterworth.

Offering an inside look into life in a federal penitentiary, "Conspiring Against Joseph" is a collection of 62 poems written by Dr. Al-Arian.

His use of vivid imagery to describe day-to-day life in the suffocating prison will both astound and enrage readers who have never pictured such abuses. This beautiful anthology offers insightful commentary on subjects as diverse as the 56-year Israeli-
Palestinian conflict and the American dream before and after 9/11.
