The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander is a groundbreaking book that examines the racial disparities within the criminal justice system and their impact on education. Alexander argues that mass incarceration has become a new form of racial control, disproportionately affecting communities of color. This thought-provoking book sheds light on the ways in which the criminal justice system perpetuates inequality and limits educational opportunities for marginalized individuals. It is a powerful call to action for reforming the criminal justice system and addressing the systemic barriers that hinder educational equity.
