This volume provides an understanding of the intersection of race and region. In this Age of Obama, the idea that race is no longer a barrier to achievement is rampant. However the research presented here reveals that race and class-based problems remain and geography often is a contributing factor to those differences. Thus, this book provides a needed study of how race still matters in twenty-first-century America. The essays presented in this volume provide an understanding of progress but also the depths of the legacy of racial segregation now manifest in structural racism and public policy limitations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pearl K.
