Race and Labor Matters in the New U.S. Economy (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Marable, Manning; Wilson, Joseph; Ness, Immanuel

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this powerful new work, Marable, Ness, and Wilson maintain that contrary to the popular hubris about equality, race is entrenched and more divisive than any time since the Civil Rights Movement. Race and Labor in the United States asserts that all advances in American race relations have only evolved through conflict and collective struggle. The foundation of the class divide in the United States remains, while racial and ethnic segregation, privilege, and domination, and the institution of neoliberalism have become a detriment to all workers.
