This text examines the social forces that influence Black responses
to differential conditions in American society. It raises the issue
of differential social status and its effect on whites who are
similarly situated at the low end of the class spectrum. Chambers
identifies the elements that contribute to the fluctuations in
maintaining the status quo and analyzes the attempts made to
control dissidence. The standard functional approach is taken so
students can interpret the data within a traditional theoretical
framework. Chambers' book is an excellent introductory work in
criminology on America's most challenging issue, racism.
