This extensive and comprehensive book delves into persistent racial disparities in the United States across various regimes of structural racism. It begins by examining the economics of racial identity, the mechanisms of stratification, and the regimes of structural racism that have shaped the country's history. The book then analyzes trends in racial inequality in education and changes in family structure since the demise of Jim Crow. It further explores generational trends in income, wealth, and employment for families and individuals, broken down by race, gender, and national region.
The book also delves into economic differences among African Americans, examining regional, ethnic, nativity, gender, and racial identity factors that contribute to these disparities. In addition, it provides a theoretical analysis of structural racism, productivity, and wages, with a special focus on the role of managers and instrumental discrimination within firms.
The book concludes with an investigation of instrumental discrimination, hate crimes, the criminal legal system, and the impact of mass incarceration on family structure and economic inequality. It sheds light on the ongoing challenges faced by marginalized communities and calls for concerted efforts to address these systemic issues.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists seeking to understand and address the complex dynamics of racial inequality in the United States. Its comprehensive analysis and insightful recommendations provide a roadmap for building a more equitable and inclusive society.
