{"product_id":"race-in-america-herbert-hill-9780299134242","title":"Race in America: The Struggle for Equality","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRace in America\u003c\/i\u003e is a multidisciplinary analysis of race and injustice by some of the nation's foremost scholar-activists who helped shape the course of the struggle for civil rights during the recent past. These essays provide a historical retrospective, an assessment of where we are now, and an outline of possibilities for the future.\u003cbr\u003e The major controversial issues in race relations, in the past and in the present, such as affirmative action, educational segregation, racial practices of labor unions, legal strategies for protest movements, the persistence of racism in American institutions, and the sources of resistance to change are discussed at length by major authorities in their respective fields.\u003cbr\u003e Many of the most important events in recent American history come alive in these pages as the strategies and programs, the victories and defeats of the civil rights movement are rigorously examined. A unique aspect of the book is that the human experience of active participants in this rich history is evoked through personal and often poignant accounts, such as those of Kenneth B. Clark, who in a memorable autobiographical essay describes a long life devoted to the pursuit of racial justice, and Patricia J. Williams, who relates the contemporary struggles of African American women to the historical context of slavery and its aftermath.\u003cbr\u003e As no other book can, this collection provides the basis for the critical insights and historical perspectives that are essential for an understanding of the central issue still confronting American society: race and racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herbert Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299134245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299134242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 5.94w x 1.03d","brand":"Herbert Hill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190546034943,"sku":"9780299134242","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc7b72c8-dbb5-41ef-bda9-f919cf7b2a3d.jpg?v=1690871115","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-in-america-herbert-hill-9780299134242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
