In this book, Michelle Alexander argues that the U.S. prison system has created a new racial caste system, where people of color are disproportionately incarcerated and disenfranchised. She examines the historical and contemporary factors contributing to this crisis and advocates for a more equitable justice system.
George Jackson's 'Blood in My Eye' is a powerful and unflinching account of his experiences in the California prison system. Written while incarcerated, the book offers a searing critique of the prison-industrial complex and the systemic racism that permeates the U.S. justice system. Jackson details the brutal realities of prison life, including violence, oppression, and the dehumanization of prisoners. He also articulates a radical political vision, advocating for revolutionary change and the dismantling of oppressive systems. The book remains a crucial text for understanding the ongoing struggle for racial justice and prison reform.
