The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander

5.0

I just read this for the first time — ten years after it was initially published. It’s amazing to see what a powerful impact Alexander’s work has had on the framing of public discussion over the last few years. This book gives me a new and better appreciation for many of the things I’ve been hearing elsewhere.
