Affirmative Action and Black Entrepreneurship (Hardcover, New)

This volume isolates the cause of continuing disparities not only between blacks and whites, but amongst blacks as well. Key factors discussed include the current state of the economy the influence of public policies, the persistence of urban poverty, economic opportunities, changes in family and social structure and equal opportunities. The city of Atlanta is used as a case study focusing on the emergence of the black entrepreneur, with data on black businesses drawn from records of almost 1000 black-owned firms. A new definition of Black economic empowerment is put forward, based on the attainment of self-reliance and self-sustained economic growth and suggestions for policies made that would provide a road to economic parity.
