The award-winning "Black Wealth / White Wealth "offers a powerful
portrait of racial inequality based on an analysis of private
wealth. Melvin Oliver and Thomas Shapiros' groundbreaking research
analyzes wealth -total assets and debts rather than income alone
-to uncover deep and persistent racial inequality in America, and
they show how public policies have failed to redress the problem.
First published in 1995, "Black Wealth / White Wealth" is
considered a classic exploration of race and inequality. It
provided, for the first time, systematic empirical evidence that
explained the racial inequality gap between blacks and whites. The
Tenth Anniversary edition contains two entirely new and substantive
chapters. These chapters look at the continuing issues of wealth
and inequality in America and the new policies that have been
launched in the past ten years. Some have been progressive while
others only recreate inequality -for example the proposal to
eliminate the estate tax.
Compelling and also informative, "Black Wealth / White Wealth" is
not just pioneering research. It is also a powerful counterpoint to
arguments against affirmative action and a direct challenge to
current social welfare policies that are tilted towards the
wealthy.
This series examines the interrelations of politics and society,
bringing together articles from an international and
interdisciplinary community of scholars.
