Summary:

Racism in American Institutions, Despite the fact that America has elected its first black president, racism has historically been a problem in our society and continues to be an issue today. The days of overt racist policies such as the Jim Crow laws and school segregation may be over, but covert racism still affects many of America's established institutions, from our public schools to our corporate offices. The Racism in American Institutions series examines the problem of racism in vested American establishments. Each volume traces the prevalence of racism within that American fixture throughout history and explores the challenge that exist today looking at how the institution has changed to fight against racism as well as how its current practices remain rooted in prejudice.
