Product Description
DIVIThe New Jim Crow/I 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 Prizewinner David Levering Lewis calls stunning,” will at last be available.brBRIn 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.brBRFeatured on IThe Tavis Smiley Show/I, IBill Moyers Journal/I, IDemocracy Now/I, and C-Span’s IWashington Journal/I, IThe New Jim Crow/I has become an overnight phenomenon, sparking a much-needed conversation—including a recent mention by Cornel West on IReal Time with Bill Maher/Imdas;about ways in which our system of mass incarceration has come to resemble systems of racial control from a different era./DIV
