| Abstract
|
:
|
"Each chapter tells a great story, but with the goal of looking into complex issues: the many problems young black men face, subtle persistent racism, the stagnation of blacks vis a vis whites, widespread black participation in the military despite widesprad anti-war sentiments, the increased decline of unions even as unions become the primary vehicle for black progress, the challenges of interracial families, the lack of good schools or healthcare for the poor, and the inability of well-off blacks to lift up others"--Provided by publisher.
