America in Black and White: One Nation, Indivisible

Abstract: What happens when two liberal scholars study the history of racism in this country? They reach the surprising conclusion that, contrary to the politically correct dogma, racism actually has declined significantly in this country, and that the remaining statistical inequities are due to cultural factors unrelated to White racism.

Keywords: book review, sociology, history, racism, race relations, statistical data, causes, historical analysis, Jim Crow, affirmative action, equal opportunity, Afro-Americans, African-Americans, Black-Americans, civil rights, twentieth century, social conditions, United States.
