Mass Incarceration: Examining and Moving Beyond the New Jim Crow.

Author:	James Kilgore
Publisher:	[London] : Sage Publications, 2015.
Edition/Format:	Downloadable article : Document  Computer File : English
Publication:	Critical sociology
Summary:	Michelle Alexander's critical analysis of the US criminal justice system contained in The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness has received extraordinary critical and popular acclaim.
