"An excellent and timely collection on an important set of civil rights issues." Pedro Noguera, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development at New York University "A useful edited collection of essays on diverse US racial-ethnic issues, this book grew out of a 2003 Harvard Civil Rights Project conference... These respected scholars provide a well-documented overview of US racial-ethnic patterns and conflicts. Summing Up: Recommended." Choice, Nov 2009 "By considering race in a range of novel ways, the chapters taken together present a fairly honest and rigorous inventory of the state of racial inequality in this country...If there is a theme to this eclectic mix, it is to highlight again and again the myriad ongoing racial disparities that shape this nation. As such, the volume is a good counterargument to those who would offer a celebratory narrative about the postracial nature of America's political and social structures... [It] make[s an] important contribution to the study of racial politics in the United States...[and] deserve[s] to be read." - Perspectives on Politics
