Uncommon Common Ground: Race and America's Future

by Angela Glover Blackwell, Steward Kwoh, and Manuel Pastor.
Description
A wide-ranging, in-depth, and pragmatic discussion of the persistently divisive issues surrounding race in this country.

With a mixed-race president, a Latino population that is now the largest minority, and steadily growing Asian and African-American populations, race is both the most dynamic facet of American identity and the defining point of American disunity. By broadening the racial dialogue, Blackwell, founder of PolicyLink; Kwoh, president of the Asian Pacific American Legal Center; and Pastor, professor of American Studies and Ethnicity at USC, bring new perspective to this essential American issue.
