The Anatomy of Racial Inequality

Challenging the orthodoxies of both Left and Right, Glenn Loury is one of the most prominent and controversial black American intellectuals. A major statement of a position developed since the 1990s, this book both epitomizes and explains Loury's understanding of the depressed conditions of so much of black American society at the beginning of the 21st century - and the origins, consequences and implications for the future of these conditions.
