Book published annually from 1985-1996. Its name derived from a Ho Chi Minh quote, “when the prison doors are opened the real dragons will fly out.” The New Year’s Book was produced by activists to send a once a year gift of love and solidarity to people inside reflecting a culture of love and resistance. The New Year’s Books contained poetry, inspirational pieces, updates on big political events and graphics created for the benefit of currently incarcerated prisoners of war and political prisoners. The New Year’s Books include contributions from notable political prisoners and prison activists of the time representing anti-imperialist and anti-racist groups, Black and Women’s Liberation movements and the Puerto Rican independence movement.
