Race and Social Policy

Herausgeber: Crewe, Sandra Edmonds

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses critical race theory to examine key social policies. Chapters give primacy to addressing the experiences of African Americans in navigating systems that are flawed by structural racism and yet too often attribute individual pathology rather than systemic injustice to the worsening life circumstances they find themselves in.
