Beskrivning

A comprehensive exploration of racial inequality in New York City since 1965.In the past, the study of racial inequality in New York City has usually had a narrow focus, examining particular social problems affecting ethnic-racial groups. In contrast, this book provides a comprehensive overview of racial inequality in the city's economy, housing, and education sectors over the last half-century. A collection of original essays by some of New York's most well-known and emerging urban experts, Racial Inequality in New York City since 1965 explores what city government has done and failed to do to address racial inequality. It examines the changes in circumstances of Asian, Latino, West Indian, and African American New Yorkers, outlining how theirs have either improved or deteriorated relative to their white counterparts. The contributors also analyze how practices and policies in policing, public housing, public health, and community services have maintained racial inequality and discuss how political participation can increase social capital among city residents in order to reduce racial inequality. The book concludes by offering a compendium of practical recommendations and actions that can be implemented to address racial inequality in the city.

Recensioner i media

"…the anthology aims to be an interdisciplinary resource that tackles numerous aspects of racial inequality in New York City. It succeeds in its mission and that despite the harrowing statistics and stories told, the book's last chapter with its dozens of pragmatic recommendations forces readers, most of whom are likely researchers and activists themselves, to confront what scholarship can do, here and now, to reduce racial inequality." — Gotham Center for New York City History"Through 15 chapters, scholars, policy experts, and activists recount both the good and bad events relating to race that have taken place since 1965, culminating with insights into policies and practices that offer a path toward greater equality. While the book focuses on New York City, it serves as a primer for the whole country, which is currently struggling to understand its racial history and to define a path forward … Highly recommended." — CHOICE"This book provides a broad and up-to-date survey of social and demographic trends in New York City. Unlike many other works, it crosses policy arenas and is not shy in advocating community action." — J. Phillip Thompson, New York City Deputy Mayor for Strategic Policy Initiatives
