| | The Bridge over the Racial Divide |
| | Developing his earlier views on race in contemporary society, William Julius Wilson gives a simple, straightforward, and crucially important diagnosis of the problem of rising social inequality in the United States and details a set of recommendations for dealing with it. | | | He advocates a cross-race, class-based alliance of working-and middle-class Americans to pursue policies that will deal with the eroding strength of the nation's equalizing institutions, including public education, unions, and political structures that promote the interests of ordinary families. | | | This book is a superb contribution to the national debate about equality, class, race, and politics. |

| | Golden's experience with race relations in Charlotte, North Carolina led him to believe that southern whites put great effort into, "denying humanity to Negroes," by, "depriving and dehumanizing" them because of their race. | | | Despite Golden's former celebrity and importance to the civil rights movement, he has been forgotten in contemporary accounts of the movement. | | | With the tools of his outspoken views and satiric humor, Golden wrote about the struggle for black civil rights by vividly illusrating the absurdity of racism and the ludicrous nature of segregationist traditions and policies. |

| | Black Insurgency |
| | Racial concerns gained a prominent foothold on the national political agenda, and in the process, they took on a clear partisan meaning Partisanship, the emerging issues of race, and the social welfare issues of the New Deal were now mutually reinforcing The key event in this transformation no doubt was the 1964 presidential election. | | | Zaller's discussion of shifts in racial attitudes to support his elite model of mass opinion is especially illuminating because his broader RAS model epitomizes the state of the art in contemporary opinion research and theory. | | | Also, Tables One and Two show that, once the perceived proximity of party issue position is included, partisanship itself does not appear to significantly predict respondent's views on racial equality, regardless of time period. |
