1. I rather like....

5. Michelle Alexander, “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.”
The 2010 book by the civil rights litigator, now a New York Times columnist, “demonstrates the ways in which the War on Drugs, and its resulting incarceration policies and processes, operate against people of color.” One judge called it “crucial as an engine toward transforming the criminality of our ‘justice’ system.”

I haven’t read the whole book but have seen excerpts of it, comments about it and heard Michelle Alexander speak at Texas Southern University in Houston a few years ago.
