The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

A tenth-anniversary edition of the iconic bestseller, with a new introduction by the author

Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

Now, ten years after it was first published, The New Press is proud to issue a tenth-anniversary edition with a new introduction by Michelle Alexander that discusses the impact the book has had and the state of the criminal justice reform movement today. View Less
