Problem of the Century: Racial Stratification in the United States

In 1899 the great African American scholar, W.E.B. DuBois, published The Philadelphia Negro, the first systematic case study of an African American community, in which he prophesied that the "color line" would be "the problem of the twentieth century." Over one hundred years later, Problem of the Century reflects upon his prophecy, exploring the ways in which the color line is still visible in the labor market, the housing market, education, family structure, and many other aspects of life at the turn of a new century.Problem of the Century: Racial Stratification in the United States, with ISBN 9780871540553 and ISBN 087154055X.
