Since the civil rights movement of the 1960s, research into race
relations has tended to focus on political and social inequality
rather than the economic impact of racism. "A Different Vision:
African-American Economic Thought" redresses this imbalance. It is
a landmark two- volume work--the most significant contribution to
the study of blacks and economics ever to have been published.
"A Different Vision" brings together for the first time the ideas,
philosophies, and interpretations of North America's leading
African-American economists. Each of the thirty-five chapters
presented in these two volumes focuses on various aspects of the
social and economic experiences of African-Americans, past and
present. This volume dramatically illustrates that African-American
economists do have "a different vision," as it offers the hard,
incontrovertible evidence--as no other book has before--that when
it comes to economics, race matters, and that economic inequality
caused by race has had and continues to have an immense impact in
every sphere of African-American life. Volume 1 of "A Different
Vision" includes an in-depth discussion of the economics of race
and gender; an assessment of the contribution and influence of
major African-American economists and economic philosophies,
including Booker T. Washington, Abram Harris, and Phyllis Wallis;
an examination of racism within the economics profession; and an
accessible approach which is free of technical jargon.
Volume 2 offers an analysis of urban poverty; discusses aspects of
racial inequality and public policy, including affirmative action,
and self-help solutions; examines the theory and method which
underlies public policy; andstudies the impact of racism on the
socio-economic status of African-Americans.
