“Alexander’s brave and bold new book paints a haunting picture in which dreary felon garb, post-prison joblessness, and loss of voting rights now do the stigmatizing work once done by colored-only water fountains and legally segregated schools.  With dazzling candor, Alexander argues that we all pay the cost of the new Jim Crow.”

— Lani Guinier, Professor of Law, Harvard Law School
