Lori Latrice Martin is association dean in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and professor in the Department of African and African American Studies at Louisiana State University.
This book provides a necessary and timely review of the literature
on how structural and institutional oppression continue to operate
and diminish opportunities of the American dream for many Black
people. The present day discussions and facts noted provide
critical insights into our subconscious as a country and our belief
in equity and access for all.

Dr. Lori Martin provides a powerful overview of American history
while debunking myths along the way for Black Americans. This book
provides concrete evidence of Black people in America as a minority
group that has endured systematic racism, discrimination, and
marginalization, mostly as a result of U.S. legislation and policy.
The book is multidisciplinary, drawing on insights and approaches
from history, sociology, critical race studies, African American
Studies, and criminal justice. Undergraduate, graduates, and
scholars will find this book educational and valuable, especially
in today’s color blinded society.
