Description and Table of Contents
Description
The history of interracial unity and cooperation in the United States from the Colonial period to the present is examined in this volume. Topics discussed include: the tendency to maintain the racial status quo; the impact of black expectations and demands; and the role of whites in the struggle for racial equality over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Richard W Thomas concludes with a consideration of race relations in the contemporary United States. He argues that people of all colours must become aware of their shared history of interracial struggles for equality if racism is to be truly tackled.
