説明

In a gripping exploration of America's justice system, a young lawyer's journey unfolds against the backdrop of systemic inequality and racial injustice. Bryan Stevenson, the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, dedicates his life to defending those most marginalized: the wrongfully convicted, the mentally ill, and the poor. Through his tireless advocacy, readers are drawn into the harrowing stories of individuals caught within a flawed legal landscape—a world where justice often feels more elusive than ever.

As Stevenson challenges the biases ingrained in the legal framework, he reveals the profound impact of poverty and racism on the lives of his clients. The narrative weaves together personal anecdotes and case studies, illustrating the haunting realities faced by those striving for redemption amid overwhelming odds. With each story, the author highlights the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of compassion in the fight for justice.

Ultimately, this poignant account serves as both a call to action and a source of hope. Stevenson's unwavering commitment to justice not only sheds light on societal failures but also inspires readers to reflect on their own roles in creating a more equitable world. Through empathy and understanding, his message resonates deeply, urging a reevaluation of what true justice means in a society that often chooses to look away.

レビュー

5.0

Literally reading about how horrible and unjust our system in criminal system is is just absolutely so disheartening. A small part of me do needs to realize of this all happened back in the early '90s where our judicial system was a little bit different, but at the same time even looking at our future system currently. What happened back then and reading all the stories about some of these cases that were brought up? It makes me question and wonder that like if it was happening right now with the same s*** still be going on. And the worst part about thinking that is that the answer is yes, a lot of the cases that was brought up in this book unfortunately enough. A lot of the times this incentive s*** is still to the state is happening and let's see yours and years later. Either like this book was very eye-opening and very inspirational and very emotional at times as well. Absolutely love this book
