1.     Alexander argues that the new Jim Crow is part of a long line of systems of racial control and domination in the United States. She also argues that it emerged in part out of an electoral strategy (the “Southern strategy”) and that key institutions (e.g., law enforcement institutions) effectively had to be bought off to support it. How should we understand the relationship of the new Jim Crow to racial oppression/domination, in terms of its origins and its effects?
