Opis

One of the foremost sociologists of our time makes a fervent appeal for clearer thinking on race, poverty, crime, and the underclass. A much-praised and distinctive work of scholarship, Rethinking Social Policy offer provocative essays examining major books on such subjects as affirmative action, the "safety net", the effects of heredity on learning and propensity to commit crime, and ghetto culture.
