An Echo Yelled Backwards

By Nasihah Jones

From an incarcerated teen to an Advocate of social change, Nasihah Jones finds no hesitation in exercising the power of words to tackle tough issues: inner-city violence to the contradictions in the overall landscape of America. "An Echo Yelled Backwards" is a profound collection of writing that emerged from the author's time spent in a juvenile detention center and after, when Nasihah was redefining himself throughout his years in college. Through essays and poetry, Nasihah fearlessly confronts the dystopian reality that surrounds him and his peers. With raw courage, he uses his vivid imagination and love for writing to dismantle the social constructs and to offer readers a theoretic and poetic revolution towards a New American Society. This collection is evidence that common folk too, ponders on the most challenging complexities of society, and that writing empowers the kind of creativity and resilience that the human spirit needs to stand up against any behemoth. Nasihah's words off a radical hope, challenging the status quo and inspiring readers to question the system that perpetuates injustice. "An Echo Yelled Backwards is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest of times, the spark of imagination can ignite a flame of change. It is a call to action, urging us all to listen closely to the echoes of truth reverberating through the willful silence that paralyzes us from action.
