DuBois, identified the colour line as America's great problem. While the colour line is increasingly variegated beyond black and white, and more openly discussed than ever before as more racial and ethnic groups call America home, his words still ring true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, post-racial and colourblind ideals dominate the American narrative, obscuring the reality of racism and discrimination, hiding if only temporarily the inconvenience of deep racial disparity. This is the quintessential American paradox: our embrace of the ideals of meritocracy despite the systemic racial advantages and disadvantages accrued across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlack in America\u003c\/em\u003e provides a sociology of the Black American experience. To be Black in America is to exist amongst myriad contradictions: racial progress and regression, abject poverty amidst profound wealth, discriminatory policing yet equal protection under the law. This book explores these contradictions in the context of residential segregation, labour market experiences, and the criminal justice system, among other topics, highlighting the historical processes and contemporary social arrangements that simultaneously reinforce race and racism, necessitating resistance in post-civil rights America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455531008236,"sku":"9781509531394","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/71nm44R9nOL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774779102"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/christina-jackson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
