The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander

4.0

Alexander does a great job of keeping you engaged. There's limited legalese and statistic-vomiting. There are a bit of both but they're interwoven in an accessible and worthwhile way. Her thesis is strong throughout and the meanderings rarely feel pointless. This is a solid work of theory, with some brushed over bits that don't quite fit.
