Description
The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colourblindness by Michelle Alexander A searing examination of the rebirth of a caste-like system in the United States, where racial discrimination has been redesigned to target black men through the War on Drugs. The American criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, relegating millions to a permanent second-class status. Challenging the notion that the election of Barack Obama marked a new era of colourblindness, Alexander reveals how racial discrimination was not ended but merely transformed. This book is a call to action for everyone concerned with social justice, offering a powerful analysis of the ongoing struggle for equality and human rights. With its stark portrayal of the consequences of racial control, The New Jim Crow is a crucial work that sheds light on the darkest corners of the American justice system.
