assembled in one place and compellingly argues that segregation is
crucial to understanding what has happened to [urban] blacks.
An incredibly readable book that must be studied by all
Americans-liberal and conservative, black and white.
Essential reading for anyone interested in the causes, and possible
cures, of urban poverty.
A major contribution to our understanding of both racism and
poverty... One hopes that the book will be read, not only by other
scholars and policy analysts, but by a broad spectrum of citizens
and by all the leaders of the nation. -- Andrew Billingsley
"Washington Post Book World"
In the meticulousness of its research and the density of its
arguments, Ý"American Apartheid"¨ stands well apart from even the
best-argued and most amply documented books by journalists on
racial problems. -- Nathan Glazer "New Republic"
Richly documented ... A splendid book. "American Apartheid"
explores a topic that many of us have come to take for granted,
presents a fascinating array of data that have never been assembled
in one place and compellingly argues that segregation is crucial to
understanding what has happened to Ýurban¨ blacks. -- Charles
Murray "Times Literary Supplement"
