As the United States celebrates the nation's "triumph over race" with the election of Barack Obama, the majority of young black men in major American cities are locked behind bars or have been labeled felons for life. Although Jim Crow laws have been wiped off the books, an astounding percentage of the African American community remains trapped in a subordinate status - much like their grandparents before them. In this incisive critique, former litigator-turned-legal-scholar Michelle Alexander provocatively argues that we have not ended racial caste in America: we have simply redesigned it. Alexander shows that, by targeting black men and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, even as it formally adheres to the principle of color blindness. The New Jim Crow challenges the civil rights community - and all of us - to place mass incarceration at the forefront of a new movement for racial justice in America. 650 0 $a Discrimination in criminal justice administration $z United States 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States 650 0 $a African American prisoners $z United States 650 0 $a African American men $x Social conditions 650 0 $a Race discrimination $z United States 650 7 $a African American men $x Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799254 650 7 $a African American prisoners $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799317 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Discrimination in criminal justice administration $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895034 650 7 $a Race discrimination $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086465 650 7 $a Race relations $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Administration of criminal justice $z United States $2 sears 650 7 $a African Americans $z United States $2 sears 650 7 $a Prisoners $z United States $2 sears 650 7 $a Race discrimination $z United States $2 sears 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 $a United States $x Race relations $2 sears 700 1 $a West, Cornel, $e writer of foreword. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1605/2014482312-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1605/2014482312-d.html 941 $a 16 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409024420.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518013956.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20210302050545.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200924034949.0 952 $l A2PD787 $d 20200812032646.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528051431.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508015929.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204044225.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110030357.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20190521012302.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006064403.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20180329070152.0 952 $l OOAX232 $d 20171229010141.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20171121010733.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116014757.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20170908010357.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06802A8A945B11E78D72D91897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
