It is an indisputable fact that minorities have been disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs, but do our policies amount to a new era of legal social control aimed at perpetuating a racial hierarchy?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Your paper will begin by providing a thorough synthesis of Alexander\u2019s argument.&nbsp; Why does she make the use the analogy of Jim Crow segregation?&nbsp; What evidence does she provide to make her case?&nbsp; What role does she say that media plays in framing our understanding of the problem?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">After summarizing her argument, you will provide an evaluation\/critique of her claims.&nbsp; One of major line of critique is that we are currently moving toward a post racialized justice system that focuses more on class inequality.&nbsp; The documentary,<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">The House I Live In<\/em>, does an excellent job of illustrating this shift, and you are encouraged to watch it to help with the paper.&nbsp;

cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">This last point is important because you may spend a great deal of time learning and critically thinking about your arguments, but if you are not able to effectively communicate your thinking your work will be for not.&nbsp; Make sure that your paper is a clear reflection of the amount of work you have put into this and is something that you would be proud to show a perspective employer, school admissions committee, or your grandmother.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px;
