Summary: A Peice of Crap
Comment: I am sorry, but when I was reading this, It did not catch my attention, but rather put me to sleep. I am a college professor, and my students have written better papers than this. Have fun reading it if you want to fall a sleep. If you can't sleep, pick up this book
Rating: 5
Summary: Lucy Aitkens
Comment: This remains, without question, one of the most excellent and insightful assessments of race in America. Whether you are a US citizen or an international visitor to the US this book is fundmental to understanding the hidden dimensions of ongoing racial division. Read it and pass it on in the hope that people will recognise the irrefutable evidence of racial segregation offered by Massey and Denton.
Rating: 5
Summary: Outstanding and important book
Comment: This is the most important book explaining the causes of African-American disadvantage in the U.S. today. Packed with data and argumentation, it documents the devastating impact of residential segregation on African-American socioeconomic prospects. One of the best features of the book is the way it subsumes other prominant explanations of African-American disadvantage--for example, William J. Wilson's spatial-mismatch hypothesis, and "culture of poverty"/"black cultural pathology" theories--within its theoretical framework.
