Designed for further reflection and discussion on The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Attorney Michelle Alexander, this study guide integrates chapter summaries with Biblical reflections and African American Historical Connections. Intended for both group and individual study, this easy-to- use text provides spaces for written responses and reflections. The recently updated appendices include additional resources and information that are specific to state and national trends, public policy issues and corporate investments that influence mass incarceration. “The people who are victims of the New Jim Crow system and those who benefit from it must confront the moral imperatives of looking in the mirror and asking, ‘where do we go from here?’ The choice is in our hands; all of us are prisoners and bound by chains in some form or another. The SDPC stands in unity with all who are engaged in this work. This updated guide is released to further our shared education, advocacy and activism to bring about a human rights movement for racial, class and gender justice in the United States.” Iva E. Carruthers

The New Jim Crow study guide by Michelle Alexander

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2013

Verified Purchase

I would recommend this study guide for everyone to read to learn about how our justice system is skewed against people of color and how the war on drugs is an abysmal failure. The study guide summarizes each chapter and asks thought-provoking questions. And the study guide is extremely complimentary to the book. Ms. Alexander's book backs up her conclusions with facts, lots of data. My church formed a book study group using this book and we all learned and benefited from it. This should be a recommended book for all high school students!

Apartheid in the U.S.

Alexander's book sends two powerfully compelling messages to white America (that includes me): first, become more deeply aware of the suffering caused by policies and laws which may have been well-intentioned but tragically have been cruelly applied and thus morally untenable; and, second, become actively engaged in discussing this national horror with your white friends so as to discover how to actively contribute toward restoration of people's lives and redemption of our national character. This book chronicles a shameful modern system of apartheid in the U.S. and cries out for change now.

Fantastic book for the new generation of readers

Fantastic book for the new generation of readers, spells it out like it is. I was born in the 50s. This book expands on the "Back in the Day" stuff that is still prevalent today. A great read...

Excellent for a deeper appreciation of the movement for a call to action to address mass incarceration. Very helpful in preparation for discussion on racial justice. When used with discussion on implicit bias this study guide promotes valuable insight.

Scholarly work; well researched. Perspective that is often discussed in the Black community. A rallying cry for reform. Maybe to text book for some readers.

This book is one of the textbooks for a class I am taking. It is a real eye opener to what is happening to so many men of color in this country.

This book is an eye opener. If anyone wants to learn why the justice system is not colorblind need to read this book and come to a better understanding of racism in America.
