"These three books help trace the long history of anti-blackness in the criminal legal system. The New Jim Crow does a fantastic job of connecting the system, as it exist today, to historical systems of social control. The Condemnation of Blackness adds additional context by examining the mythical link between Blackness and criminality. Stamped From the Beginning rounds the trio out as, ""the definitive history of racist ideas in America."" ___________ #whencrackwasking #greatreads #bookreview #bookstagram #bookworm #reading #amreading #nonfiction #books #instabook #bookrec #warondrugs #crime #punishment #prison #justice #criminaljustice #criminaljusticereform #law #race #racism #lawenforcement #igreads"
