Summary
The "Bible of a social movement" (San Francisco Chronicle) to end mass incarceration in the United States - now available in a Spanish language edition In this revolutionary work that has remained for more than two years in the list of best-selling books From the New York Times, Michelle Alexander argues that "we have not eradicated racial castes in the United States; we have merely redesigned them." By targeting black men through the Drug War and decimating communities of people of color, the United States criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control - relegating millions of people to second-rate status. class-even as it adheres to the principle of color blindness. Hispanic Americans are widely represented in this mass incarceration system that Alexander describes: 15 percent of all Latinos in the United States say that they or someone in their immediate family has been arrested within the past five years; and that about 25 percent of Latinos between the ages of 18 and 29 share this experience. Latinos make up about half of all convicts in federal prisons, and in California (one of the few states with information on this), Latinos make up 40 percent of all arrests. Professors such as Tom Romero have suggested that The New Jim Crow provides the essential foundations for understanding the "new Jim Crow system" of immigration and detention in the United States today. Millions of Spanish-speaking families affected by this system will appreciate having a Spanish edition of this book that has been considered "invaluable" by the Daily Kos and "explosive" by Kirkus Reviews
