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

3.5

Content is good, but written in a painfully jargon-full way that made it hard to read. I do think that good writing needs to be relatively easy to read, unless you're writing for the experts of a field. Ergo, suffice it to say, there are books that cover the same topic but in a way that's far easier to read.

This is a good intro though. Just make sure you read more than this book, because it's leaving out some important nuance to prison abolition and the history of policing.
