Description
The Imperative of Integration by Elizabeth Anderson A powerful argument for reviving the ideal of racial integration, this book examines why African Americans remain disadvantaged despite progress toward racial equality. Elizabeth Anderson demonstrates that segregation remains a key cause of these problems and presents a compelling case for reviving the ideal of racial integration to overcome injustice and inequality. Anderson draws on extensive social science findings in economics, sociology, and psychology to provide a nuanced understanding of the effects of segregation and integration across multiple social arenas. She also explores the limitations of conservative explanations for black disadvantage and provides a distinctive rationale for affirmative action as a tool for promoting integration.
