Nowhere is typical of the United States - least of all Washington, Wall Street and Hollywood. This issue of the NI ignores the familiar images and explores an America that's rarely seen - except by the Americans who actually live there. Most of them face similar prob- lems, and have similar ambitions, to almost everyone else. And, if anything is ever going to be done about the Rogue Superpower, then the American people will have to play a big part in doing it.
American prisons contain political prisoners who dared to challenge the domestic status quo – and who have been locked away for good to keep them quiet. *Anita Roddick* met one of them inside Angola prison.
True originals Daniel Shays, Geronimo, Emma Goldman, Mae West, Paul Robeson, Rachel Carson, Cesar Chavez, Noam Chomsky and The Simpsons.
