According to Alexander, “we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.”   Thanks in a large part to the War on Drugs, more than two million people are in America’s prisons today—an overwhelming majority of them are people of color who’ve been jailed for minor drug charges. When these adults leave prison, they are often denied employment, housing, the right to vote, and a quality education. As a result, they are rarely able to integrate successfully into society.  The New Jim Crow is a well-argued call to dismantle a system of policies that continues to deny civil rights, decades after the passing of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts.   The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.
