Summary:

"There are many solid books on American race relations written mostly by layers and historians. This book builds on these works, but it differs from these previous works in six important and interrelated ways: (1) it comprehensively covers not just one slice but all of the major realms of society: economic, education, justice, medical, and housing. (2) It includes significant insights from social psychology--such as understanding implicit prejudice and the importance of on intergroup contact - topics not found in other race relations books. (3) It employs a three-level analysis--individual, interpersonal, and structural levels--with emphasis upon structural norms and discrimination as well as prejudice. (4) It offers a new and unique analysis and plan for racial reparations. (5) For readers who wish to dive deeper into the study of American race relations, key books are recommended for each chapter as well as a Bibliography of more than 700 references. (6) Lastly, in personal comments and side-bars, there is a novel personal emphasis that races the author's more than seven decades of research and activity in American race relations since 1952. Indeed, he has actually participated directly in many of the critical race relations events over these same years"-- Provided by publisher.
