The Resource Democracy in black : how race still enslaves the American soul

Summary

"A polemic on the state of Black America that argues that we don't yet live in a post-racial society"--
From the murders of black youth by the police, to the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act, to the disaster visited upon poor and middle-class black families by the Great Recession, it is clear that black America faces an emergency-- even though the election of the first black president has prompted many to believe we've solved America's race problem. Glaude argues that we live in a country founded on the premise that white lives are valued more than others, and this still distorts our politics today. He offers thoughts on a better way forward
