Sommario/riassunto

In America's Urban Crisis and the Advent of Color-blind Politics, Ivery and Bassett combine their own experience in the field of civil rights with contributions of urban studies experts to provide an overview of scholarship on the urban underclass. This look into the modern racial politics of America's cities encourages readers not only to be aware of inequalities, but to engage in efforts to change them.
