The Two Americas

Summary: An eye-opening analysis of race in the United States, The Two Americas examines the War on Drugs and how it affects communities of color. Author Derrick Newton discusses the jarring difference between America's treatment of Caucasian citizens and minorities, particularly African Americans. True criminal cases, laws, and public statements by government officials are used to prove how unfairly these laws have targeted communities of color. Newton pulls no punches and gives a compelling and critical view on the war on drugs, including research to support his findings. The Two Americas leaves a powerful and poignant impression.
