In this clear-eyed and compassionate study, Robinson (Coal to Cream), Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist
for the Washington Post, marshals persuasive evidence that the African-American population has splintered
into four distinct and increasingly disconnected entities: a small elite with enormous influence,
a mainstream middle-class majority, a newly emergent group of recent immigrants from Africa and the
Caribbean, and an abandoned minority "with less hope of escaping poverty than at any time since
Reconstruction's end." Drawing on census records, polling data, sociological studies, and his
own experiences growing up in a segregated South Carolina college town during the 1950s, Robinson
explores 140 years of black history in America, focusing on how the civil rights movement, desegregation,
and affirmative action contributed to the fragmentation.

Eugene Robinson, columnist for the Washington Post, presents an interesting thesis on make up of Black America at the same time bring the reader up to date on the last 60 years regarding race relations. One thing becomes clear in this book; race in this country is no longer just a matter of black & white. The growth of other minority groups, the recent immigration of families from Asia, Central America, Mexico and the Middle East, have made the issue more complex. There is also the matter of class to deal with. Class in America is a real issue, sometimes it is straight forward and other times it is confused or mixed up with race. If you want to understand where we may be headed socially as a country in the next 25 years read this book.… (altro)

Eugene Robinson takes a very complex topic and organizes for understanding. He provides the reader a logical analysis of African-Americans and the factors or variables that have contributed to their overall progress and status. However, while he does a masterful job sharing the characteristics of the three groups that have overcome poverty, he offers little or nothing by way of policies as it relates to the fourth group of African-Americans who are poor or "abandoned" as he describes them. The books ends with you wanting more relative to how to address the plight of the poor.… (altro)

Thorough and insightful. I appreciated the broader view of what is a very complex issue. While I don't think the book completely exhausts all the challenges, it did a great job of objectively covering many of the struggles we face in modern America.
