\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen first published in 1980, \u003ci\u003eThe Declining Significance of Race\u003c/i\u003e immediately sparked controversy with its contentious thesis that race was becoming less of a deciding factor in the life chances of black Americans than class. This new edition of the seminal book includes a new afterword in which William Julius Wilson not only reflects on the debate surrounding the book, but also presents a provocative discussion of race, class, and social policy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nâThe intellectual strength of this book lies in his capacity to integrate disparate findings from historical studies, social theory and research on contemporary trends into a complex and original synthesis that challenges widespread assumptions about the cause of black disadvantage and the way to remove it.ââPaul Starr, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nâThis publication is easily one of the most erudite and sober diagnoses of the American black situation. Students of race relations and anybody in a policy-making position cannot afford to bypass this study.ââErnest Manheim, \u003ci\u003eSociology\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e |
