The major concern of Contemporary Public Policy Perspectives and Black Americans is to determine whether the current public policy objectives are meeting the needs of America's black population. The issues examined herein include public policies in the areas of urban crisis, Reaganomics, public employment, minority business enterprise, energy, the military, police, affirmative action, health, the economy, and futures and ethics policies. In discussing policy issues and their distributional benefits and results, opportunities for individual advancement are scrutinized. This scrutiny, Rice and Jones contend, is the only way to consider and discuss the equity of policy issues for black Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Woodrow Jones,Mitchell Rice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313237115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313237119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Woodrow Jones","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013723926783,"sku":"9780313237119","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_51cd5347-e2da-4ba4-b036-b9e4e2ceeac9.jpg?v=1767744372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-public-policy-perspectives-and-woodrow-jones-9780313237119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
