DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nMichelle Alexander explains how the get-tough-on-crime policies 
 were enacted in the 1970's were an effort to push back the gains of the 
 Civil Rights Movement. \n\nFrom Publishers Weekly\n"Contrary to the rosy 
 picture of race embodied in Barack Obama's political success and Oprah 
 Winfrey's financial success, legal scholar Alexander argues vigorously and 
 persuasively that we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely 
 redesigned it. Jim Crow and legal racial segregation has been replaced by 
 mass incarceration as a system of social control (More African Americans 
 are under correctional control today... than were enslaved in 1850). 
 Alexander reviews American racial history from the colonies to the Clinton 
 administration, delineating its transformation into the war on drugs. She 
 offers an acute analysis of the effect of this mass incarceration upon 
 former inmates who will be discriminated against, legally, for the rest of 
 their lives, denied employment, housing, education, and public benefits. 
 Most provocatively, she reveals how both the move toward colorblindness and 
 affirmative action may blur our vision of injustice: most Americans know 
 and don't know the truth about mass incarceration—but her carefully 
 researched, deeply engaging, and thoroughly readable book should change 
 that." Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier
