Bøger af Jr. Young

This book follows a study of 100 low-income African Americans living in a suburb of Detroit and how these individuals experience social categories such as race, class, and gender, and how these impact their understanding of the world of work.

Life for too many African American men is a battle with extreme disadvantage, a fight for survival, and a struggle for dignity in a society which labels them a "problem. " For more than thirty years, most of the effort put toward addressing the crisis of black men has centered on what they must do to improve their condition.
