Beschreibung:
Bryan Stevenson is the executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama, and a professor of law at New York University Law School. He has won relief for dozens of condemned prisoners, argued five times before the Supreme Court, and won national acclaim for his work challenging bias against the poor and people of colour. He has received numerous awards, including the MacArthur Foundation `Genius¿ Grant.
An account of an idealistic lawyer's coming of age in relation to mass incarceration and racial injustice across the United States. Soon to be a film starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx.
The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. One in every 15 people born there today is expected to go to prison. For black men this figure rises to one in 3. An unforgettable account of an idealistic lawyer's coming of age and a moving portrait of the lives he has defended, Just Mercy is an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of justice.
