From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime

Elizabeth Hinton

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Steven Hahn recommends it
Um uh uh two other books um Elizabeth Hinton's book from the war on poverty to the war on crime which focuses on the 1960s into the early 1970s and is I think a very very interesting way of understanding how um illiberal sensibilities kind of infuse their way into what are major modern liberal projects and paved the way for mass mass incarceration, which I learned a lot from.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
