Persistent Disparity provides a comprehensive examination of the
magnitude and scope of racial economic disparity in the United
States. The authors directly assess the extent of black economic
progress in the US since World War II and address the controversy
of whether the racial income gap is closing or widening as America
approaches the 21st century. Darity and Myers explicitly make the
connection between what the theory of racial inequality espouses
and corresponding policy recommendations for remedying such
disparity such as affirmative action and reparations. The authors
challenge the cultural-genetic explanation and advance a new
theoretical explanation that incorporates a more expansive
characterization of the nature and role of discrimination. They
also conclude that conventional anti-discrimination efforts are
unlikely to be sufficient to close the gap. This book will be
essential reading for anyone interested in US social and economic
history, political economy, African-American studies, and public
policy.
