America in Black and White: One Nation, IndivisibleSimon & Schuster, 1999 - 704 páginas Stephan and Abigail Thernstrom make the claim that there have been great strides regarding the history of racism and argue that perhaps all will be equal in time. In a book destined to become a classic, Stephan and Abigail Thernstrom present important new information about the positive changes that have been achieved and the measurable improvement in the lives of the majority of African Americans. Supporting their conclusions with statistics on education, earnings, and housing, they argue that the perception of serious racial divisions in this country is outdated—and dangerous. |
