"Being Black, Living in the Red" demonstrates that many differences
between blacks and whites stem not from race but from economic
inequalities that have accumulated over the course of American
history. Property ownership - as measured by net worth - reflects
this legacy of economic oppression. The racial discrepancy in
wealth holdings leads to advantages for whites in the form of
better schools, more desirable residences, higher wages, and more
opportunities to save, invest, and thereby further their economic
advantages. A new afterword by the author summarizes Conley's
recent research on racial differences in wealth mobility and
security and discusses potential policy solutions to the racial
asset gap and America's low savings rate more generally.
