One book out from FSG that we think you'd like is Locking Up Our Own, Crime and Punishment in Black America America by James Foreman Jr. who you might

remember was on my show last week. Why is it that majority black cities

incarcerate so many of their own citizens.

James Foreman Jr.'s story of race, crime, and punishment

is an original view of our criminal justice system,

as well as a moving portrait of the human beings caught in its coils.

Jennifer Senior at the New York Times tweeted that

locking up our own is the best book that she's read this year.

The New York Times Book Review said that it compels readers to wrestle

with some very tough questions about the nature of American democracy and its deep

roots in racism, inequality, and punishment. in up or download your copy now. Hey, this is Boss Kirca, editor of Jacobin.
