Many racial and ethnic groups in the United States, including
blacks, Hispanics, Asians, American Indians, and others, have
historically faced severe discrimination?pervasive and open denial
of civil, social, political, educational, and economic
opportunities. Today, large differences among racial and ethnic
groups continue to exist in employment, income and wealth, housing,
education, criminal justice, health, and other areas. While many
factors may contribute to such differences, their size and extent
suggest that various forms of discriminatory treatment persist in
U.S. society and serve to undercut the achievement of equal
opportunity. Measuring Racial Discrimination considers the
definition of race and racial discrimination, reviews the existing
techniques used to measure racial discrimination, and identifies
new tools and areas for future research. The book conducts a
thorough evaluation of current methodologies for a wide range of
circumstances in which racial discrimination may occur, and makes
recommendations on how to better assess the presence and effects of
discrimination. Table of Contents Front Matter Executive Summary 1
