just published by Princeton University Press, which describes the book:
“The American racial order–the beliefs, institutions, and practices that organize relationships among the nation’s races and ethnicities–is undergoing its greatest transformation since the 1960s. Creating a New Racial Order takes a groundbreaking look at the reasons behind this dramatic change, and considers how different groups of Americans are being affected.”
“This is a wide-ranging exploration of how America looks, thinks, and lives in terms of race as we go into this new millennium. Bridging political science, sociology, and the burgeoning study of DNA, the authors show us that racial order remains one of the most reliable ways of organizing our past and present as Americans, even as that order is dynamic and indeed transformed over time.”–Henry Louis Gates Jr., Harvard University
Hochschild also wrote Facing Up to the American Dream.. “In this compassionate but frightening book, Hochschild attributes our national distress to the ways in which whites and African Americans have come to view their own and each other’s opportunities. By examining the hopes and fears of whites and especially of blacks of various social classes, Hochschild demonstrates that America’s only unifying vision may soon vanish in the face of racial conflict and discontent.:
