MoreThanJust Race, by William Julius Wilson

摘要

When William Julius Wilson talks, people listen. He cochaired the urban issues committee for the Obama presidential campaign. More than just a preeminent social scientist and urbanist, as a leading spokesman on African-American issues he helps redefine the politically correct and policy significant.Bill Wilson here steps beyond his important past works. The most distinctive is stressed in the first and last chapters: He presents a new view on structural and cultural forces that contribute to racial inequality. This is an important change from the past for Wilson and many urbanists, who since the 1960s have treated culture as politically incorrect.
