The New Jim Crow is a groundbreaking book by Michelle Alexander that explores the racial disparities in the American criminal justice system. It examines how the War on Drugs has disproportionately affected communities of color, leading to a new form of racial control and oppression. Alexander argues that the system of mass incarceration perpetuates racial inequality and undermines the progress made during the civil rights movement. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of race, criminal justice, and social justice.
