The Anatomy of Racial Inequality
In this book, “The Anatomy of Racial
Inequality,” by Glenn
C. LOURY. The author talks about mediating racial inequality. The
topics that are discussed in this book are Race discrimination--United States, African Americans--Civil rights, Race discrimination--Political
aspects--United States, African Americans--Economic
conditions, African
Americans--Social conditions--1975. “Meaningful equality of citizenship requires that (3) be ruled out by
axiom (non-essentialism) and that (1) be remedied via reform wherever possible”
(Glenn C. Loury, 163). The author argues that race-blindness- as a morally practical
model of racial justice- is unavoidably lacking because it cannot handle costs related
to its own penalty (Loury, 166). In
concert with the author, racial justice can only be initiated when equality of
citizenship has been redefined allowing inclusion of all. This can include
being open to race markers that do not justify racial blindness as the cost
related to the concept can be self-defeating.
