Powerfully synthesizing major currents in the field, this book
addresses the issue of inequality across American politics and
society, using race as a lens for the exploration of major themes
in American history. It considers the concept of race as a social
construction, against the background of the historical struggles
for "fairness" in a society based on the framework of democracy,
whose principle is that majority's consent be necessary for the
fulfillment of "justice." Foregrounding problems of race, capital,
and political economy, it particularly examines the connections
between race and class, the relationship of slavery and national
politics, and the distinctive intellectual framework that Americans
have developed to discuss "race." Offering a detailed account of
civil rights legislation, an overview of immigration law and
policy, and comprehensive overviews of debates about affirmative
action, immigration, and the causes and solutions to racialized
urban poverty, this book emphasizes what is distinctive about the
United States and offers a unique comparative framework for
thinking about America's racial past.
