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. <br>While not denying the economic advances of black Americans since the 1960s, <I>Whitewashing Race </I>draws 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. 50307 2003 Whitewashing Race: The Myth of a Color-Blind Society total:33|5:13|4:15|3:3|2:2|1:0| 33 138 64 7 4 0 false false Fri Nov 02 03:45:25 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 27 18:25:20 -0800 2007 2 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 26 22:56:08 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 26 22:56:08 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 06 12:31:20 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 06 12:33:03 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Mon Jul 09 19:48:12 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 09 19:50:47 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Nov 30 19:44:02 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 30 19:45:19 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sat May 31 15:44:56 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 24 06:37:58 -0700 2008 Sat May 31 15:44:56 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Dec 20 09:29:10 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 20 09:29:22 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 06:21:39 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 06:21:39 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 26 08:36:50 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 08:36:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 20 15:07:55 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 15:07:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 27 15:00:05 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 15:00:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 23 15:34:58 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 15:34:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 07 15:33:59 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 15:33:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 06 23:35:25 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 23:35:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 26 17:49:02 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 17:49:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 09 14:02:13 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 14:02:13 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Apr 15 02:47:30 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 00:37:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Mar 27 21:27:29 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 21:27:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 09 12:25:29 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 10:59:07 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 12:25:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 25 01:52:20 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 01:52:20 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=51558
