Resumen de la editorial
..."an excellent job of quantifying our contributions to the American economic system."<br>-"Savannah Tribune <br>"Recommended reading..""<br>-Emerge <br>"Melvin Oliver and Thomas Shapiro have written the definitive book about...black-white differences in assets.."<br>-Contemporary Sociology <br>"If anyone believes the playing field' in America is level, then they should read this book. By focusing attention on wealth as opposed to income, "Black Wealth/White Wealth changes the tenor and direction of debates on poverty, welfare and affirmative action in decisive ways. In a powerfully written book, Oliver and Shapiro present compelling evidence, incisive arguments and cogent policy suggestions to address the lingering racial divide. A must read!."<br>-Maxine Waters, U.S. House of Representatives, California <br>"Oliver and Shapiro have made an important contribution to our public debate on the roots of inequality between the races in America. By highlighting the effects of wealth inequality, the authors draw attention to some disturbing truths about the haves and the have-nots in our society."<br>-Senator Bill Bradley <br> Leer más
