The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander
informative
reflective
slow-paced
4.5
On first read in 2018: 4.5 stars. Though I can't say that this was an enjoyable read (as the topic is maddening), it was extremely informative. It only lost half a star because it was at times repetitive.
