À propos de cet audio
Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times best seller list.
Most important of all, it has spawned a whole generation of criminal justice reform activists and organizations motivated by Michelle Alexander’s unforgettable argument that “we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it”. As the Birmingham News proclaimed, it is “undoubtedly the most important book published in this century about the U.S.”
Now, 10 years after it was first published, The New Press is proud to issue a 10th-anniversary edition with a new preface by Michelle Alexander that discusses the impact the book has had and the state of the criminal justice reform movement today.
©2010, 2012, 2020 Michelle Alexander (P)2012, 2020 Recorded BooksThis book opened my eyes to the effects that Mass Incarceration has on anyone who gets caught up in it, primarily in the United States but I believe here in Canada it has similar effects. In the United States, however, I would say it is far more devastating given that the U.S. is considered the land of opportunity. An opportunity lost should you get prosecuted for a crime.
Michelle Alexander makes a brilliant case for how Mass Incarceration and the War on Drugs is devastating the Black Community and is, as the title states, the New Jim Crow. Not only does she focus on the effects on Black people but shows how it can affect White folk as well however not to the same extent. Her argument does not outright claim that Mass Incarceration is put in place for the sole purpose of keeping the Black person down by the ruling White class but if you put it all together you can see that the rules and regulations, the parameters that create Mass Incarceration with the help of the War on Drugs, are geared to keep the poor in their place and right now the bulk of the poor are the Black and Brown in America and therefore Mass Incarceration is geared to keep the Black and Brown down, as it were.
As a review for the Audible book I give the narrator Karen Chilton 5 plus stars. Her voice and reading style are excellent and kept me drawn in. Perfect for this book.
I highly recommend this book to everyone as an eye opening experience as to what is happening to the poor in the United States and why changes need to be made to how people are charged and incarcerated, not just only in the United States but everywhere. Five plus stars.
