Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.

This episode explores Assata: An Autobiography by Assata Shakur as a systems-level analysis of how the carceral state influences behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.

By focusing on patterns rather than individuals, the episode shows why these systems persist — even when their consequences are widely recognized.
