Author: Danielle Allen

Publisher: Liveright

Publication Date: October 3, 2017

Category: Memoir / Social Critique

Cuz is a poignant memoir by Harvard professor Danielle Allen, recounting the life and tragic death of her cousin, Michael Allen. At 15, Michael was arrested for an attempted carjacking and sentenced as an adult under California’s “three strikes” law, leading to an 11-year prison term. After his release at 26, he was murdered three years later. Allen delves into Michael’s life, exploring the systemic failures that led to his incarceration and untimely death. Through personal anecdotes and critical analysis, she examines issues of race, justice, and the American penal system, offering a compelling narrative that intertwines personal loss with a broader social critique.
