330 .. $a "More than forty years have passed since Congress, in response to the Civil Rights
Movement, enacted sweeping antidiscrimination laws in the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. As a signal achievement
of that legacy, in 2008, Americans elected their first African American president.
Some would argue that we have finally arrived at a postracial America, but The Imperative
of Integration indicates otherwise. Elizabeth Anderson demonstrates that, despite
progress toward racial equality, African Americans remain disadvantaged on virtually
all measures of well-being. Segregation remains a key cause of these problems, and
Anderson skillfully shows why racial integration is needed to address these issues.
Weaving together extensive social science findings--in economics, sociology, and psychology--with
political theory, this book "provides a compelling argument for reviving the ideal
of racial integration to overcome injustice and inequality, and to build a better
democracy." "Considering the effects of segregation and integration across multiple
social arenas, Anderson exposes the deficiencies of racial views on both the right
and the left. She reveals the limitations of conservative explanations for black disadvantage
in terms of cultural pathology within the black community and explains why color blindness
is morally misguided. Multicultural celebrations of group differences are also not
enough to solve our racial problems. Anderson provides a distinctive rationale for
affirmative action as a tool for promoting integration, and explores how integration
can be practiced beyond affirmative action." "Offering an expansive model for practicing
political philosophy in close collaboration with the social sciences, this book is
a trenchant examination of how racial integration can lead to a more robust and responsive
democracy."--BOOK JACKET
