Description
Few books in recent history have changed how an entire generation thinks about race, justice, and power. The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander — the landmark New York Times Bestseller now in its powerful 10th Anniversary Edition with a new preface by the author — is a devastating, meticulously argued, and profoundly important examination of how racial inequality has been systematically rebuilt in modern America under the guise of the criminal justice system.
Michelle Alexander, a distinguished legal scholar and civil rights advocate, makes a compelling and brilliantly researched case that mass incarceration in America functions as a modern racial caste system — one that strips millions of Black men of the very rights that were supposedly won during the Civil Rights Movement. For Kenyan readers — students of law, political science, African studies, human rights, and social justice — this book offers essential and eye-opening insight into how systemic racism operates in the world’s most powerful democracy, with sobering parallels for governance, policing, and justice systems across Africa.
What this book covers:
- How the US war on drugs systematically targeted and criminalised Black communities
- The legal and political machinery that sustains racial inequality under a colourblind facade
- Why mass incarceration represents a new form of racial control and social exclusion
- The devastating impact of the criminal justice system on Black families and communities
- What genuine racial justice requires — and why reform alone is not enough
