In <em>Rethinking Incarceration, </em> Dominique Gilliard provides well-researched content as well as insightful stories that provide the essential foundation for a long overdue dialogue on mass incarceration. The church needs this primer on the history of incarceration in the United States and needs to hear the cogent theological analysis and response that is offered. This text should now be required reading for any thinking and feeling American Christian who wants to engage the topic of mass incarceration in a meaningful way.</p>--Soong-Chan Rah, author of The Next Evangelicalism and Prophetic Lament<br><br><p>Dominique DuBois Gilliard's book <em>Rethinking Incarceration</em> is the perfect addition to a larger conversation sparked by Alexander's <em>The New Jim Crow</em>. Beyond addressing the war on drugs, this book tackles the four pipelines of the war on immigrants, mental health, private prisons, and the school-to-prison pipeline. From black codes to convict leasing and the language of law and order, Gilliard is meticulous in summarizing the historic and systemic nature of incarceration in the United States . . . <em>Rethinking Incarceration</em> is definitely the book that I will recommend to any Christian or church wrestling with the problem of incarceration in our society.</p>--Daniel José Camacho, The Christian Century, March 1, 2018<br><br><p>This is an outstanding addition to this incredibly important conversation.</p>--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review<br>
