The New Jim Crow
By:Michelle Alexander
Published on 2012-01-16 by The New Press
Once in a great while a book comes along that changes the way we see the world and helps to fuel a nationwide social movement. The New Jim Crow is such a book. Praised by Harvard Law professor Lani Guinier as |brave and bold,| this book directly challenges the notion that the election of Barack Obama signals a new era of colorblindness. With dazzling candor, legal scholar Michelle Alexander argues that |we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.| By targeting black men through the War on Drugs and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control—relegating millions to a permanent second-class status—even as it formally adheres to the principle of colorblindness. In the words of Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, this book is a |call to action.| Called |stunning| by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David Levering Lewis, |invaluable| by the Daily Kos, |explosive| by Kirkus, and |profoundly necessary| by the Miami Herald, this updated and revised paperback edition of The New Jim Crow, now with a foreword by Cornel West, is a must-read for all people of conscience.
