"Jarvious Cotton's great-great-grandfather could not vote as a slave. His great-grandfather was beaten to death by the Klu Klux Klan for attempting to vote. His grandfather was prevented from voting by Klan intimidation; his father was barred by poll taxes and literacy tests. Today, Cotton cannot vote because he, like many black men in the United States, has been labeled a felon and is currently on parole."As the United States celebrates the nation's "triumph over race" with the election of Barack Obama, the majority of young black men in major American cities are locked behind bars or have been labeled felons for life. Although Jim Crow laws have been wiped off the books, an astounding percentage of the African American community remains trapped in a subordinate status--much like their grandparents before them.In this incisive critique, former litigator-turned-legal-scholar Michelle Alexander provocatively argues that we have not ended racial caste in America: we have simply redesigned it. Alexander shows that, by targeting black men and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, even as it formally adheres to the principle of color blindness. The New Jim Crow challenges the civil rights community--and all of us--to place mass incarceration at the forefront of a new movement for racial justice in America.

The New York Times bestseller, available at last in an adaptation for young readers ages twelve and up The New Jim Crow is one of the most important and acclaimed books to have been published in recent memory; it raised the consciousness of an entire nation about the human rights catastrophe of mass incarceration and helped make criminal justice reform one of the most talked-about and urgent social issues of our time. Since its publication, the ceaseless, continuing stream of deadly encounters between law enforcement and people of color--and the Black Lives Matter movement--have made The New Jim Crow and its important ideas an essential text for younger readers. This adaptation does just that, making Alexander's classic book--in all its brilliance and vision--available to a new generation of readers, ages 12-18.The racism unleashed and revealed by the Trump era make this new edition more urgent and timely--and necessary--than ever. As rich in information and potency as the original text, The New Jim Crow: Young Readers' Edition will be a vital tool for helping younger readers understand the relationship between the criminal justice system and race, as well as for inspiring commitment to working to challenge and change our criminal justice policies.

Will the angels learn which among them has broken a sacred rule?
