1. Read the introduction and chapter one of Michelle Alexander’s “The New Jim Crow”.
2. Watch Beyond The Prison Industrial Complex, a lecture by Professor Ruth Wilson Gilmore
3. Review the PowerPoint notes on Critical Thinking.
After reading the required sections of the book, watching the lecture and reviewing the PowerPoint write a response paper based on your impressions of the material. Give perspectives and ideas. You don’t have to touch on everything or refer to everything; just tell me what matters most in all of this and why it does. Do not give a review of the article! See if you can see something between the lines or deeper than what is obvious.
