- Themes
- Race, racism and economic well-being: The book examines how race and racism affect people’s economic well-being in America. Its stated purpose is to investigate relationships and provide historical context, rather than merely mention race as a background topic.
- Institutions, laws and responses to disparities: The book considers institutions and laws underpinning the current system, then explores what governments and activists are doing to reduce disparities. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Worth knowing
- The subject may prompt serious discussion about racism, unequal economic well-being and responses to disparities. The book’s treatment of contested questions and the balance between perspectives are not clear.
