Being Black, Living in the Red: Race, Wealth, and Social Policy in America, 10th Anniversary Edition, with a New Afterword
ISBN: 9780520261303 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Being Black, Living in the Red demonstrates that many differences between blacks and whites stem not from race but from economic inequalities that have accumulated over the course of American history.

A new afterword by the author summarizes Conley's recent research on...

Economic and social inequality among adult siblings is not the exception, Conley asserts, but the norm: over half of all inequality is within families, not between them. And it is each family's...
