Regular price
€28.50
When first published in 1980, "The Declining Significance of Race" immediately sparked controversy with its contentious thesis that race was becoming less of a deciding factor in the life chances of black Americans than class. This new edition of the seminal book includes a new afterword in which William Julius Wilson not only reflects on the debate surrounding the book, but also presents a provocative discussion of race, class, and social policy.
William Julius Wilson is the Lewis P. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor at Harvard University.
