Updated to reveal the current state of affairs, a portrait of America as a divided nation depicts the United States as both a racist and classist society in which blacks have been unable to find acceptance and discusses the social unrest that marks social inequality. Reprint.
In this groundbreaking study, Andrew Hacker offers a fresh and disturbing examination of the divisions of color and class in present-day America, analyzing the conditions that keep black and white Americans dangerously far apart in their ability to achieve the American dream.
Why, despite continued efforts to increase understanding and expand opportunities, do black and white Americans still lead separate lives, continually marked by tension and hostility? In his much-lauded classic and updated version reflecting the changing realities of race in our nation, Andrew Hacker explains the origins and meaning of racism and clarifies the conflicting theories of equality and inferiority. He paints a stark picture of racial inequality in America—focusing on family life, education, income, and employment—and explores the controversies over politics, crime, and the causes of the gap between the races.
Reasoned, accurate, and devastating, Two Nations demonstrates how this great and dividing issue has defined America''s history and the pivotal role it will play in the future.
