The book under analysis goes under the title Book Review: Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption and it is written by Bryan Stevenson. The author of the book is one of the most renowned lawyers in the USA, and he tells his story, as well as stories of his clients, in his book. Just Merci can be regarded as another loud call for action as the author brings out numerous issues deteriorating the Justice system. Stevenson tells the stories of people waiting on death row, which draws even more attention to his accounts. The book is a description and a certain kind of reflection of the system. The author’s clients are representatives of underprivileged groups just like the majority of incarcerated people who are minority groups (ethnic minorities, poor, immigrants, and so on). The writing reveals numerous themes that resonate with many people’s hearts and minds. This review focuses on two themes that have been widely discussed in the US society. One of the major themes, or even the central one, is associated with inequality. At this point, it is important to note that the author focuses on the Justice system and hardships of prisoners, but he also sheds light on other aspects of the American society that are characterized by inequality. First, his clients are representatives of ethnic minorities and underprivileged populations. Stevenson’s first client was an African American in his early twenties. The first chapters of the book unveil one of the most significant issues many Americans have to face. The lack of lawyers makes many prisoners vulnerable. The author stresses that there were times when people in the South simply thought that prisoners would be executed without any meaningful involvement of lawyers. Ethnic minorities have a few opportunities to hire a lawyer, which often results in severe sentences. As has been mentioned above, the author provides real-life stories, which makes the book quite personal. This feature is one of its major strengths, but it is also a weakness. On the one hand, real people and their stories may readers feel that they are witnessing the main characters’ hardships. This emotional load can facilitate the discussion of the most burning issues in the system. On the other hand, it makes the book less impartial, which is often associated with a certain bias. For instance, Stevenson reveals some details of his background and stresses that his clients are just like people who lived in his community. The author notes that he has also witnessed inequality as he lived in a segregated community. These parallels make readers understand that underprivileged groups are prone to the excessive strictness of the system where opinions of the majority prevail. At the same time, it is clear that the author has a particular view on the matter that is deeply rooted in his past. Stevenson has seen injustice in many spheres of his life and the life of other people. These experiences could make him more focused on protecting his clients and advocating for people like them. The author does not state that his clients and many incarcerated people are sinless, but he still seems to pay no attention to other sides of his clients’ characters. Stevenson managed to prove that some of his clients were innocent, but others were still guilty of committing certain crimes. It is important to reveal this aspect as well. To understand the
