Description for The Unsteady March
Paperback. This work aims to disprove the idea that the United States has been on a steady march toward the end of racial discrimination. Rather, progress has been made only in brief periods and has always been followed by periods of stagnation and retrenchment. Num Pages: 418 pages, 8 tables. BIC Classification: 1KBB; HBJK; JFSL1. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 231 x 157 x 27. Weight in Grams: 666.

But has the history of race in America really been the continuous march toward equality we'd like to imagine it has? This sweeping history of race in America argues quite the opposite; that progress toward equality has been sporadic, isolated, and surrounded by long periods of stagnation and retrenchment.
