Omschrijving
One of the most influential books of the past twenty years
One of the most influential books of the past twenty years
Struck the spark that would eventually light the fire of Black Lives Matter
Devastating. . . Alexander does a fine job of truth-telling, pointing a finger where it rightly should be pointed: at all of us, liberal and conservative, white and black
Transformed forever the way thinkers and activists view the phenomenon of mass incarceration
Undoubtedly the most important book published in this century about the U.S.
Like many white people, I've tried to deepen my understanding of systemic racism. Alexander's book offers an eye-opening look into how the criminal justice system unfairly targets communities of color, and especially Black communities. It's especially good at explaining the history and the numbers behind mass incarceration
It is in no small part thanks to Alexander's account that civil rights organizations such as Black Lives Matter have focused so much of their energy on the criminal justice system
Invaluable . . . a timely and stunning guide to the labyrinth of propaganda, discrimination, and racist policies masquerading under other names that comprises what we call justice in America
Alexander deserves to be compared to Du Bois in her ability to distill and lay out as mighty human drama a complex argument and history
Michelle Alexander is a civil rights lawyer and advocate, legal scholar and New York Times columnist. She has served as a professor at several universities, including Stanford Law School and is currently a visiting professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York. Prior to entering academia, she served as the director of the Racial Justice Project for the ACLU of Northern California, where she coordinated the media advocacy, grassroots organizing, coalition building, and litigation.
