Anatomy of Racial Inequality - With a New Preface

Loury describes a cycle of tainted social information that has resulted in a self-replicating pattern of racial stereotypes that rationalize and sustain discrimination. His analysis shows how restrictions placed on Black development by stereotypical and stigmatizing thinking deny a segment of the population the possibility of self-actualization.
