Series:  Dilemmas in American politics Description:  xviii, 270 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  "Why does inequality have such a hold on American society and public policy? And what can we, as citizens, do about it? Inequality in America takes an in-depth look at individual-level and systemic inequality, focusing in particular on race, poverty, and gender, across a wide range of issues from housing and education to crime, employment and health. Caliendo shows how individual-level prejudice and systemic inequality are interrelated, how individual beliefs and attitudes can affect public opinion and lawmakers' policy solutions and how systemic barriers to advancement as a result of these policies then contribute to individual perceptions, creating a cycle of disadvantage and advantage that can be difficult to break, though not impossible"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.51209 Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList
