By Michelle Alexander. New York: The New Press. 2010. THE CONDEMNATION OF BLACKNESS: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America. By Khalil Gibran Mu- hammad. Cambridge: Harvard University Press. 2010. There are books that, on their own, are informative and moving. But, of- tentimes, reading books together—one right after the other—compounds each works’ transformative power. Michelle Alexander’s much-needed report (calling it simply a book hardly does it justice), The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, can certainly stand on its own as an important statement about the current use of mass incarceration to maintain a racial caste system in the United States. The same strength can be found in The Condemnation 0026-3079/2012/5201-143$2.50/0 American Studies, 52:1 (2012): 143-152 143 144 Jelani Jefferson Exum of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America, Khalil Gibran Muhammad’s account of the connection of blackness to criminality in this country. Each book, on its own, gives readers a greater understanding of the racism within the criminal justice system. However, reading them jointly paints a disturbing picture of the past and present use of incarceration and crime rhetoric in America and leaves one with an overwhelming sense of injustice and the data to know that the injustice is real.

    Newly Created Archdiocese of Baltimore School Board Begins Work

    Newly created Archdiocese of Baltimore school board begins work School Sister of Notre Dame Kathleen Feeley doesn’t want to see a world without her passion, Catholic education. That’s why she agreed to be part of the newly created Archdiocese of Baltimore School Board, which gathered for the first time Jan. 10 at St. Mary’s Seminary in Roland Park. “When you’re asked to do something absolutely essential, you say yes immediately,” said the interim president of the Institute of Notre Dame. “Our schools are superb and we have to find ways of keeping them going. It’s a huge project. I just hope we can organize well to do it.” The 23-member board will oversee the implementation of Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien’s Blue Ribbon Committee on Catholic Schools’ Strategic Plan, which was released in June 2010. Archbishop O’Brien will chair the board. The board will also recommend policies for the archdiocesan school system and advise the archbishop and superintendent concerning advancement, finances, facilities and leadership matters affecting Catholic schools. “It’s going to be four or five years to really get a structure in place,” the archbishop said. “We always have to have an archdiocese school board to keep us in check and to set ongoing goals and make sure we reach them.” It is an impressive group that includes CBS News reporter Byron Pitts, a product of Baltimore Catholic schools; Anirban Basu, Sage Policy Group’s chairman and CEO; and Benjamin Civiletti, senior partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Venable LLP.
