From the murders of black youth by the police, to the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act, to the disaster visited upon poor and middle-class black families by the Great Recession, it is clear that black America faces an emergency--at the very moment the election of the first black president has prompted many to believe we've solved America's race problem. Democracy in Black is Eddie S. Glaude Jr.'s impassioned response. Part manifesto, part history, part memoir, it argues that we live in a country founded on a "value gap"--with white lives valued more than others--that still distorts our politics today. Whether discussing why all Americans have racial habits that reinforce inequality, why black politics based on the civil-rights era have reached a dead end, or why only remaking democracy from the ground up can bring real change, Glaude crystallizes the untenable position of black America--and offers thoughts on a better way forward. Forceful in ideas and unsettling in its candor, Democracy In Black is a landmark book on race in America, one that promises to spark wide discussion as we move toward the end of our first black presidency"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions$y21st century 606 $aAfrican Americans$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 606 $aRacism$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aRace discrimination$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE/Discrimination & Race Relations$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE/Minority Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aAfrican Americans$xEconomic conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00799599 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00799698 606 $aRace discrimination$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01086465 606 $aRace relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01086509 606 $aRacism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01086616 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aHistory$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aRacism$xHistory 615 0$aRace discrimination$xHistory 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE/Discrimination & Race Relations 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE/Minority Studies 615 7$aAfrican Americans$xEconomic conditions 615 7$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 615 7$aRace discrimination 615 7$aRace relations 615 7$aRacism 676 $a305.896/0730905 686 $aSOC001000$aSOC031000$aHIS036070$2bisacsh 700 $aGlaude$b Eddie S.$cJr.,$f1968-$01211165 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157798103321 996 $aDemocracy in black$92795507 997 $aUNINA
