In this timely and provocative contribution to the American
discourse on race, William Julius Wilson applies an exciting new
analytic framework to three politically fraught social problems:
the persistence of the inner-city ghetto, the plight of low-skilled
black males, and the fragmentation of the African American family.
Though the discussion of racial inequality is typically
ideologically polarized. Wilson dares to consider both
institutional and cultural factors as causes of the persistence of
racial inequality. He reaches the controversial conclusion that
while structural and cultural forces are inextricably linked,
public policy can only change the racial status quo by reforming
the institutions that reinforce it.
