...a clear-headed, energetic and pointedly sarcastic book about this country's racial divisions and cultural hypocrisy. -- The New York Times Book Review, Allen D. Boyer...evenhandedness is a hallmark of this book and serves to lend it more credibility. Indeed, Steinhorn and Diggs-Brown claim not to support any particular political agenda, and that is borne out throughout the book. -- Newsday--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

内容简介

"A clearheaded, energetic book about this country s racial divisions and cultural hypocrisy."-The New York Times Book ReviewWhile signs of racial progress are everywhere, the reality is that America is hardly more integrated than it was before the civil rights movement. Beyond the rhetoric of politicians, the media, and the prevalent symbols of integration lies a very different reality: 70 percent of black children attend predominantly black schools; and an Hispanic or Asian American with a third grade education is more likely to live in an integrated neighborhood than is a black with a Ph.D. Fueled by these startling statistics, By the Color of Our Skin argues that integration does not exist now; that it never had a chance to exist in the past; and that it will never exist in the future. Leonard Steinhorn and Barbara Diggs-Brown would themselves like to see integration become a reality but find-through polls, statistics, interviews, and anecdotes-that the illusion of integration is more damaging than useful because it keeps society from having an honest dialogue about the problem of race. By the Color of Our Skin explodes powerful myths and outlines a new vision of race in America. "Does an excellent job of explaining why so many people persist in believing that integration already has been achieved."-The Washington Post Book World
