About this product

Product Information

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.

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

Summary of the book by Michelle Alexander, The New Jim Crow By Jesus Maria Gabin Cambridge College, 2023-2024 "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander falls under the genre of nonfiction literature, specifically categorized as social science, criminology, and civil rights studies. It explores and analyzes the intersection of race, the criminal justice system, and societal issues in the United States, presenting arguments and evidence to support its claims rather than being a work of fiction. This book contains: Criminal Justice Terminology: Terms related to incarceration, policing, sentencing, and the legal system. Racial Justice Language: Words associated with racial discrimination, systemic racism, institutionalized biases, etc. Social and Policy Terms: Vocabulary pertaining to policies like the War on Drugs, mass incarceration, racial profiling, etc. Sociological Concepts: Words related to social stratification, caste systems, marginalization, disenfranchisement, and more. "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander examines the systemic racial inequalities within the American criminal justice system. Alexander argues that mass incarceration disproportionately targets African Americans, creating a modern system of racial control akin to the Jim Crow laws of the past. She discusses how policies like the War on Drugs have contributed to this issue, leading to the marginalization and disenfranchisement of black communities. The book highlights the ways in which the criminal justice system perpetuates racial discrimination and calls for a reevaluation of these policies. Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow" delves into the concept of mass incarceration as a form of racial control in the United States. The book traces the history of racial oppression from the abolition of slavery to the present day, highlighting how the criminal justice system disproportionately targets and imprisons African Americans.Alexander argues that the War on Drugs, combined with policies such as mandatory minimum sentences and three-strikes laws, has led to an exponential increase in the incarceration rates of people of color, particularly black men. She draws parallels between this phenomenon and the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation in the past, suggesting that the criminal justice system has become a new mechanism for societal control and discrimination against African American communities.The book examines the devastating consequences of mass incarceration, including the stripping of voting rights, limited employment opportunities, and the perpetuation of cycles of poverty and marginalization within these communities. Alexander advocates for a reevaluation of these policies and a shift towards more equitable and restorative approaches to justice. Chapter 1: The Rebirth of Caste 1: What historical era does Michelle Alexander refer to as the "birth" of the new racial caste system in America? Michelle Alexander refers to the era following the Civil Rights Movement, specifically the late 20th century, as the "birth" of the new racial caste system in America. 2: According to Alexander, how did the civil rights victories inadvertently contribute to the creation of a new system of racial control? The civil rights victories led to the breakdown of overtly discriminatory laws but indirectly paved the way for a new system of racial control through the criminal justice system. Racial bias was shifted from explicit laws to the criminal justice policies and practices. Chapter 2: The Lockdown 3: What was the significant change in American society in terms of incarceration rates around the 1970s? Around the 1970s, there was a drastic increase in incarceration rates, marking the beginning of the era of mass incarceration, particularly affecting people of color, especially African American communities. 4: What were some of the policies or factors contributing to the dramatic increase in the prison population, as highlighted by Alexander? Policies such as the War on Drugs, mandatory minimum sentences, and three-strikes laws contributed significantly to the dramatic increase in the prison population. Additionally, the "get tough on crime" rhetoric and law enforcement practices amplified arrests and incarceration rates. Chapter 3: The Color of Justice 5: How does Alexander describe the impact of the criminal justice system on communities of color, particularly African Americans? Alexander argues that the criminal justice system perpetuates a cycle of marginalization, disproportionately impacting communities of color. It leads to disenfranchisement, limited economic opportunities, and reinforces racial stereotypes, creating a vicious cycle of disadvantage.These questions and answers provide a glimpse into the themes and arguments discussed in the initial chapters of "The New Jim Crow." If you need more questions or specific details from these chapters, feel free to ask! Jesus Maria Gab

Mass incarceration--along with suspension of 4th Amendment rights--is the new Jim Crow.
It is very well written, researched, and documented by a law professor. The content is stunning. People should know that the so-called war on drugs is simply an excuse to use military weapons on our streets, suspend 4th Amendment rights, and fill our prisons,mostly with people of color.

The science behind the racism
For anyone who claims America is not built on a racist system, read this book. It’s not talking heads or pot stirrers. Just fact. And the facts are shameful.
