The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander is a groundbreaking book that explores the racial disparities in the American criminal justice system. It examines how the War on Drugs has disproportionately targeted communities of color, leading to a system of mass incarceration that perpetuates racial inequality. Alexander argues that this system operates as a new form of racial control, comparable to the Jim Crow laws of the past. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of race, criminal justice, and social justice.
