Opis

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. Cited in court decisions and Oscar speeches and praised by public policy folks, politicians, law professors, grassroots activists, and prisoners themselves, Michelle Alexander s groundbreaking book argues that we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.
Called stunning by Pulitzer Prize winning historian David Levering Lewis, invaluable by the "Daily Kos," explosive by "Kirkus Reviews," and profoundly necessary by the "Miami Herald," this updated and revised paperback edition of "The New Jim Crow" is a must-read for all people of conscience."
