About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
By reading this summary, you will discover the discrimination that still prevails in the American judicial system today.
You will also discover that :
- the American justice system is based on mass incarceration;
- the first priority, the war on drugs, fills prisons without any concrete justification or positive impact;
- people of color make up a disproportionate share of the prison population;
- the discrimination affecting ex-prisoners is brutal and long-lasting;
- structural racism in the criminal process makes it a true system of racial control.
Years after desegregation and the civil rights movement in the United States, it is often thought that racism as a system is a sad memory. American society believes that it can live without racial prejudice and ensure equality of opportunity. For the vast majority of the African-American population, however, this hope is far from reality. For many young black men, prison is the most likely prospect for the future. Entire communities live under the threat of social stigma and the loss of all their rights.
