{"product_id":"new-jim-crow","title":"New Jim Crow","description":"** This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear. **\n\nSlavery still exists in the United States of America, we just hide it behind prison walls. While politicians and the media tout 'post-racial' America, due in part to the election of Barack Obama, Michelle Alexander argues in this book that there is in fact still a racial caste system in place. The New Jim Crow describes the faults of our modern day criminal justice and prison systems and how they ensure a level of political and physical segregation too similar to that of the pre-civil rights era. If you want to understand police brutality in the service of the state or are interested in prison reform or social justice, Start here. A spectacular, sobering book that elevated the conversation and contributed to the founding of Black Lives Matter.","brand":"Microcosm Publishing \u0026 Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67621068996707,"sku":"9781620971932","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/7515\/0179\/files\/5aa15cb97e26ca616b669359dc44c642f8c646900a6780cee4ca004afe959094.jpg?v=1790896417","url":"https:\/\/redricebooks.com\/products\/new-jim-crow","provider":"Red Rice Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
