Wilbur C. Rich

The Post-Racial Society is Here (eBook, ePUB)

Recognition, Critics and the Nation-State

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In a provocative and controversial analysis, Wilbur C. Rich's The Post-Racial Society is Here conclusively demonstrates that nation is in midst of a post-racial society, although many Americans are skeptical of this fundamental social transformation. Using the findings of historians and social scientists, this book outlines why the construction and deconstruction of the race-based society was such a difficult and daunting enterprise. Rich also alerts the reader to the unprecedented progress made and why the forces of the new global economy demand that we move faster to make society more inclusive.
