The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness - Free Audiobook

America still has a long road to achieving a post-racial society and nowhere is this more apparent than in our broken prison system. On February 18th, 2010, Demos, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Metropolitan Black Bar Association, and The New Press hosted a forum with legal scholar Michelle Alexander to discuss her new book, The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness. Alexander argues in this comprehensive analysis of America's racial history that âwe have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.â Jim Crow and legal racial segregation, she asserts, have been replaced by mass incarceration as "a stunningly comprehensive and well-designed system of racialized social control."
