The New Jim Crow was initially published with a modest first printing and reasonable expectations for a hard-hitting book on a tough topic. Now, ten-plus printings later, the long-awaited paperback version of the book Lani Guinier calls "brave and bold," and Pulitzer Prize–winner David Levering Lewis calls "stunning," will at last be available.
In the era of colorblindness, it is no longer socially permissible to use race, explicitly, as a justification for discrimination, exclusion, and social contempt. Yet, as legal star Michelle Alexander reveals, today it is perfectly legal to discriminate against convicted criminals in nearly all the ways that it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans. Once you're labeled a felon, the old forms of discrimination—employment discrimination, housing discrimination, denial of the right to vote, denial of educational opportunity, denial of food stamps and other public benefits, and exclusion from jury service—are suddenly legal.
Featured on The Tavis Smiley Show, Bill Moyers Journal, Democracy Now, and C-Span's Washington Journal, The New Jim Crow has become an overnight phenomenon, sparking a much-needed conversation—including a recent mention by Cornel West on Real Time with Bill Maher&mdas;about ways in which our system of mass incarceration has come to resemble systems of racial control from a different era.

Law and order is the new racial equilibrium. Put too much stress on War on Drugs; mass incarceration is not equal to aggressive policing.
评分Under the name of justice, mass incarceration is essentially the New Jim Crow that serves to define meaning and significance of race in America; and the War on Drugs, similarly, cloaked in race-neutral language, offered whites opposed to racial reform a great opportunity to express their hostility without being charged of racism.
评分Finally! It was not until the final chapters that the whole truth was delivered throughly from beginning to end and without the bias came from a raged black. Some ideas: The day when people stop talking about race will never come, but it is worth fighting for.
评分exemplary work.
