If the experience of most black Americans says otherwise, an explanation has been sorely lacking-or obscured by the passions the issue provokes. At long last offering a cool, clear, and informed perspective on the subject, this book brings together a team of highly respected sociologists, political scientists, economists, criminologists, and legal scholars to scrutinize the logic and evidence behind the widely held belief in a color-blind society-and to provide an alternative explanation for continued racial inequality in the United States. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile not denying the economic advances of black Americans since the 1960s, \u003ci\u003eWhitewashing Race \u003c\/i\u003edraws on new and compelling research to demonstrate the persistence of racism and the effects of organized racial advantage across many institutions in American society-including the labor market, the welfare state, the criminal justice system, and schools and universities. Looking beyond the stalled debate over current antidiscrimination policies, the authors also put forth a fresh vision for achieving genuine racial equality of opportunity in a post-affirmative action world.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Whitewashing Race: The Myth of a Color-Blind Society | Michael Kingsley Brown | Paperback | 9780520244757 | Used: Like New | Sociology 1636440","offer_id":48750778941592,"sku":"1636440","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71N8kBQgI4L.jpg?v=1773947494","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/whitewashing-race-the-myth-of-a-color-blind-society","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
