Focusing on the work legacy of William Julius Wilson and the arguments of his longstanding critics, Niemonen deftly illustrates the strengths, weaknesses, and influence of Wilson's work. His fair-minded but critical analysis calls for a major shift in how sociology conceptualizes race relations--a shift that challenges popular assumptions and contemporary vocabularies and brings to the forefront the role of the state UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781588269522 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781588269522 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781588269522/original ER -
