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.
