It convincingly demonstrates that racism continues to exist in contemporary American society twenty-five years after the civil rights revolution. Smith clarifies the concept of racism through a historical analysis of the doctrine and practice of white supremacy. Then, drawing on a variety of data-surveys, court cases, the academic literature, government and privately collected statistical reports and studies, and personal experiences-Smith traces the present-day manifestations of racism ideologically, attitudinally, behaviorally, and institutionally. The final chapter presents a detailed critique of the literature on the black underclass and of William Julius Wilson's thesis on the declining significance of racism in explaining the underclass. In the process, it presents a persuasive argument that the persistence and growth of the underclass is itself major evidence of the prevalence of racism today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383743275087,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1293.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9780791424384-1.jpg?v=1784961042","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/en\/products\/9780791424384","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
