James Kilgore
About
James William Kilgore (born July 30, 1947) is employed, by his wife, at the University of Illinois' Center for African Studies in Champaign–Urbana. Kilgore was involved with the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), an American left-wing terrorist organization. After the arrest of the core SLA members in 1975, Kilgore fled a criminal indictment for 27 years, living in Zimbabwe, Australia and South Africa. During his time as a scofflaw, Kilgore wrote a number of books and articles under the pseudonym John Pape, the name of a dead baby in Washington State whose birth certificate Kilgore criminally stole. He built a career as an educator, researcher and far-radical activist, before being arrested in Cape Town, South Africa, in November 2002, extradited to the United States and subsequently serving six and a half years in prisons in California. During his incarceration he wrote several novels. The first of these, We Are All Zimbabweans Now, was published a month after his release in 2009 by Umuzi Publishers of Cape Town. In 2015, he published a non-fiction book, Understanding Mass Incarceration: A People's Guide to the Key Civil Rights Struggle of Our Time.
