Retreat To The Ghetto: The End Of A Dream?

Description for RETREAT TO THE GHETTO: THE END OF A DREAM? by Thomas L Blair:

A vigorous civil rights movement has arisen since the United States Supreme Court ruled in 1954 that school segregation was unconstitutional. Innumerable styles of black leadership have emerged: Marxist, Maoist, religious, integrationist, separatist. And yet, in recent years, blacks, more than any other group, have suffered the intense hardships of inflation, recession, and unemployment. White Americans have become preoccupied with other problems; spending on the poor has decreased; the urban ghettos are growing even grimmer; and, except for a fortunate few, blacks face a bleak future. Is there any real choice for America's largest minority? Have blacks faded from their central place in the superego of white America?

In RETREAT TO THE GHETTO, Thomas L Blair write vividly, sometimes passionately, and always with deep understanding of the conflicting currents of recent black cultural, economic, and political movements.
