The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander — Tenth Anniversary Edition
Named one of the most important nonfiction books of the 21st century by Entertainment Weekly, Slate, Chronicle of Higher Education, Literary Hub, Book Riot, and Zora, this iconic bestseller continues to shape the national conversation on race and justice.
Since its original release in 2010, The New Jim Crow has transformed the way America understands the criminal justice system. Michelle Alexander’s groundbreaking argument — that mass incarceration has effectively redesigned racial caste in the United States — has inspired major civil rights movements, from Black Lives Matter to the Art for Justice Fund.
Celebrated for its profound social impact, the book has:
- Been cited in judicial decisions and adopted in universities and communities nationwide
- Spent nearly 250 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list
- Won multiple awards, including the NAACP Image Award
- Inspired a generation of criminal justice reform advocates
This Tenth Anniversary Edition includes a new preface by Michelle Alexander reflecting on the book’s legacy and the continuing struggle for racial and criminal justice reform in America.
