Over the past three decades, racial prejudice in America has declined significantly and many African American families have seen a steady rise in employment and annual income. But alongside these encouraging signs, Thomas Shapiro argues in The Hidden Cost of Being African American, fundamental levels of racial inequality persist, particularly in the area of asset accumulation--inheritance, savings accounts, stocks, bonds, home equity, and other investments-. Shapiro reveals how the lack of these family assets along with continuing racial discrimination in crucial areas like homeownership dramatically impact the everyday lives of many black families, reversing gains earned in schools and on jobs, and perpetuating the cycle of poverty in which far too many find themselves trapped. Shapiro uses a combination of in-depth interviews with almost 200 families from Los Angeles, Boston, and St. Louis, and national survey data with 10,000 families to show how racial inequality is transmitted across generations. We see how those families with private wealth are able to move up from generation to generation, relocating to safer communities with better schools and passing along the accompanying advantages to their children. At the same time those without significant wealth remain trapped in communities that don't allow them to move up, no matter how hard they work. Shapiro challenges white middle class families to consider how the privileges that wealth brings not only improve their own chances but also hold back people who don't have them. This "wealthfare" is a legacy of inequality that, if unchanged, will project social injustice far into the future. Showing that over half of black families fall below the asset poverty line at the beginning of the new century, The Hidden Cost of Being African American will challenge all Americans to reconsider what must be done to end racial inequality.

In Awakening, a black immigrant shares his compelling ideas about the current situation facing African Americans, initiating an impassioned discussion about slavery, civil rights, and African American structure in this country. African Americans today face many challenging issues such as absentee dads, illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, drugs, black-on-black crime, and the exploding jail population; many blame black people for impeding their own progress. According to Devon Skinner, who immigrated to America when he was nineteen, black people have not failed themselves, but instead have become victims of liberalism. It's liberal policies that promises change but delivers more of the same. If the cure never solves the problem then something is wrong with the cure, not the patient. Skinner provides insight into the ways we can change these circumstances while presenting an overview of literature relating to the black experience and sharing examples from his own life. He delves into controversial issues such as racism, the treatment of slaves, and the definition of welfare all while offering encouragement to African Americans to respond to the humanitarian needs of the world. In today's culture, many blacks continue their struggle for power and respect. Awakening educates and informs African Americans of the great opportunities that lie before them while providing the motivation to walk into the future with not only a different perspective, but most importantly, a purpose.
