Color-Blind - Ellis Cose

From the author of The Rage of a Privileged Class, Color-Blind is a provocative, in-depth analysis of the present and future state of race in America; a work that not only explores the racial transformation of this nation, but offers a creative and viable ten-step blueprint for the development of a race-neutral society.aIn Color-Blind, Ellis Cose: - looks at the acute differences, even hostility, in our perceptions of race exposed by the O.J. Simpson trial, not to mention the controversial content of The Bell Curve.- addresses whether it is possible for the United States to simply wipe the racial slate clean and surmount its racist past, or if color blindness may be just another name for denial.- reveals why race may be a larger-and smaller-issue than many people think, in a world where it is often believed that lighter skin means higher status, money is the great equalizer, and education will set you free.
