SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS OF THE NEW JIM CROW: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

DISCLAIMER THIS BOOK IS A FREE WORK OF SUPREME SUMMARIES. HENCE IT'S ANYTHING BUT A SUBSTITUTE OF THE PRIMARY BOOK HOWEVER A GUIDE. Two years after Obama’s election, Alexander put the entire criminal justice system on trial, exposing racial discrimination from lawmaking to policing to the denial of voting rights to ex-prisoners. This bestseller struck the spark that would eventually light the fire of Black Lives Matter.” Alexander shows that, 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, even as it formally adheres to the principle of colorblindness. The New Jim Crow challenges the civil rights community—and everyone else—to place mass incarceration at the forefront of a new movement for racial justice in America.
