The New Jim Crow is a groundbreaking examination of the U. S. criminal justice system and its role in perpetuating racial inequality. Michelle Alexander argues that mass incarceration functions as a modern system of racial control, disproportionately targeting Black communities through policies like the War on Drugs. She explores how felony convictions strip individuals of basic rights, including voting and employment opportunities, creating a caste-like system that mirrors the segregation of the past. With thorough research and compelling arguments, the book challenges the idea of a colorblind society, urging readers to confront deep-rooted injustices. This powerful work has sparked national conversations about systemic racism, criminal justice reform, and the need for meaningful change.
