Summary:

In recent years, America's political and policy leaders have reshaped the nation's approach to race and equality. Our current political orthodoxy has turned away from the long-held view that structural forces in our economy, public policies, and history serve to reinforce our nation's inequalities. This new cadre of leaders favors the perception that most inequalities are the results of defects or miscalculations by the minorities or inner-city populations most affected. But have these changing notions of race in America served to shape the current patterns and definitions of inequality for better? Or for worse?
