Casualties of America's War on the Vulnerable, from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond
paperback, 272 pages
Published May 2, 2017 by Atria Books.
An excellent history of the criminal justice system and racial disparities in America, and how its failures and systemic racism led to recent tragedies. I honestly think everyone in America should read this book.
A wide-ranging book that dips into some of the ways that the powerful oppress the less powerful in America. I already agreed with the author on the issues. It seems like someone who doesn't, but is genuinely interested in learning about the issues, would not be turned off by the tone.
I'm not sure I've gained much more new insight from reading the book. But I think this book ties together a lot of points well, which helps me think and talk about these things in an orderly way. I think that's pretty valuable.
