As much as Americans believe in the promise of an egalitarian,
color-blind society, the reality is far from that ideal. People of
color consistently lag behind their white counterparts in key
quality-of-life areas. Despite many significant gains, widespread
structural inequalities continue to exist and thrive. Race and
Social Problems takes the long view of this state of affairs,
offering both multi-level analysis and a practical blueprint for
social justice. It begins by explaining how race-related social
problems have changed over the decades. This volume identifies
factors contributing to their persistence in this century, most
notably the central role of economic disparities in exacerbating
related social problems and replicating them for future
generations. The chapters expand on this knowledge by detailing
innovative and successful strategies for addressing aspects of six
major areas of inequality: Poverty: challenging standard American
concepts of poverty. Education: approaches toward closing the
achievement gap. Intergroup relations: enhancing race dialogues.
Family and lifespan: programs targeting families, youth, and
elderly. Criminal justice: reducing incarceration and increasing
public safety. Health and mental health: promoting positive
outcomes. Race and Social Problems casts a wide net across the most
pressing social issues, clarifying both the immediate and larger
tasks ahead for a range of professionals in such diverse fields as
social work, anthropology, communications, criminology, economics,
history, law, political science, psychology, public health, and
sociology.
