The status and prospects of African-Americans in contemporary society are of immense significance. They speak both to the conscience of the society and to ominous social and political portends. Involving issues of essential fairness and social justice are the practical problems of widespread poverty, unemployment, and the pervasive lack of opportunity stemming from stinted education. The stage is set for a national program of basic institutional reforms addressing the root causes of the African-American communitys often analyzed but uncorrected economic, political, and social problems. The authors make a convincing argument that the emphases for solutions to the widespread social conditions gripping the African-American population need to be on the social processes that so victimize this segment of the nations citizenry. They see societal institutions as capable of furthering or retarding progress not only in the economic order but also in its interactions with the political and criminal justice systems. Income disparities, lack of access to higher education, political exclusion, and unequal treatment in criminal justice administration are all seen as contributing to the characteristic institutional neglect or flawed program application. The authors make a compelling case for reform not only in the interest of social justice but for the assurance of a more productive and cohesive society. *Author: Peter, Margo/ Reed, Wornie L. *Binding Type: Paperback *Number of Pages: 184 *Publication Date: 1993/09/20 *Language: English *Dimensions: 9.22 x 6.24 x 0.57 inches.

The authors describe and evaluate the contemporary status of African-Americans through the prism of fundamental perspectives such as economics, politics, criminal justice administration, and social policy. They analyze data drawn from a range of two to five decades to assess just how African-Americans have fared over time. They find mixed results, describing how the advances of the 1960s have been eroded in the 1970s and 1980s. The hard realities of poverty, unemployment, and the consequential problems related thereto clearly afflict African-Americans to a degree highly disproportionate to their population segment. The need to essentially reform American institutions to effect the dramatically needed changes in how they interact with and impact on African-Americans is stressed.
