Developing Claims


Description

In this lesson, students analyze chapter 5 of The New Jim Crow, pages 178–190, in which Alexander claims that mass incarceration in the United States, and thus the racial caste system, has become normalized and embedded within structural racism. Students analyze how Alexander develops her claims in this section and then connect their analysis to the central claim Alexander makes in chapter 1.
