内容説明
When news of the O.J. Simpson verdict was broadcast across the United States, a nation stood divided as blacks and whites reacted differently to the decision. This text supplies the reasons for this division, asserting that racial resentment continues to exist. Despite the belief of many that racial hostility in the United States is on the decline, the authors reveal that racial resentment still remains a powerful determinant of white opinion on such racially-charged issues as welfare, affirmative action, school desegregation and the plight of the inner city. The book analyzes the critical factors that shape people's opinion on race-related issues, uncovering the relative importance of self-interest, group identity and ideological principles, as well as racial animosity. Finally, the authors explore how the racial divide has insinuated itself into the presidential election process and examine the role of political elites in framing racial issues for ordinary citizens.

内容説明
When news of the O.J. Simpson verdict swept across the United States, a nation stood divided as blacks and whites reacted differently to the decision. Seldom has the racial division that permeates American society come so clearly and prominently into view. This book aims to supply the reasons for this division, asserting that racial resentment continues to exist. Despite a parade of recent books optimistically touting the demise of racial hostility in the United States, the authors marshal a wealth of the most current and comprehensive evidence available to prove their case. They reveal that racial resentment remains the most powerful determinant of white opinion on such racially-charged issues as welfare, affirmative action, school desegregation, and the plight of the inner city. The book seeks to explain just why black and white Americans believe what they do. It analyzes the critical factors that shape people's opinion on race-related issues, uncovering the relative importance of self-interest, group identity, ideological principles, as well as racial animosity.
Finally, the authors explore how the racial divide has insinuated itself into the presidential election process, and they examine the role of political elites in framing racial issues for ordinary citizens.
