Race and racial diversity are important aspects of America and have
been shown to substantially affect social relations and the
political system, often in ways inconsistent with the values of
equality. However, greater civic association and a general sense of
community, embodied in the concept of social capital, are said to
have tremendous beneficial effects and profoundly influence
American society. This study juxtaposes and critically assesses two
bodies of research, including the work made famous in Robert
Putnam''s Bowling Alone, that have reached different conclusions on
these issues. Is America's legacy of racial inequality an 'evil
twin' of the benefits of social capital? By analyzing the social
outcomes for racial minorities, in addition to other dimensions of
American politics, the author shows that the impact of racial
diversity consistently outweighs that of social capital.
