Given that the book is over a decade old, it's not surprising that's it's already out-of-date. This is a very in-depth look at a very narrow problem - specifically, how has the war of drugs been used to alienate black men from mainstream American society? It does have a place in an anti-racist library, but I wouldn't put it at the top of the to-read queue.
