Resumen de Racial Inequality After Racism

Fredrick C. Harris, Robert C. Lieberman

• The article considers existing barriers to racial equality, especially that of African Americans, in the post-racial era in the U.S., defined as the period after laws were enacted such as the the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 during the 1960s. Topics considered include how shifts in the U.S. economy have fostered social problems, barriers to equality in education and housing, and contemporary subtleties of the institutionalism of racism and discrimination.
