The Black Middle Class

Social Mobility - and Vulnerability

Edición de la obra The Black middle class

"The widespread presence of successful African Americans in virtually all walks of life has led many in the United States to believe that the races are now on an equal footing - and that color blindness is the most appropriate way to deal with racial difference. In strong contrast, Benjamin Bowser argues that the seemingly comparable black and white middle classes, even though inextricably linked, in fact exist on entirely different economic planes."--BOOK JACKET.
