This book explains why America can realize the civil rights dream
in the 21st century—if U.S. citizens take actions as individuals
as well as work together for equality. It has been more than 53
years since Martin Luther King Jr. made his "I Have a Dream"
speech. Why has the United States still not been able to make
King's dream a reality after a half a century of effort and
progress? Is there still hope of full participation for all in
America? In Realizing the Civil Rights Dream: Diagnosing and
Treating American Racism, author Kenneth B. Bedell proposes a civil
rights dream that grows out of American history and speaks to the
21st-century reality. He makes the case that by adopting a larger
perspective of the role of racism in preserving U.S. social,
cultural, economic, and political institutions and practices,
Americans can understand why it has been so difficult to fulfill
the promises of the 1960s civil rights dream. Bedell describes and
applies sociological theories that serve to explain why racism is
still prevalent in the United States and identifies the steps that
are necessary to overcome racism. The book concludes with proposals
for ways to apply social science to realize the civil rights dream
and examples of how individuals can take action to make a
difference.
