“Cashin: A Reply to Kahlenberg” by Sheryll Cashin (July-September 2017 P&R Issue)

September 15, 2017 by

By Sheryll Cashin (Click here to view the entire P&R issue) Richard Kahlenberg is correct in asserting that the unfinished business of the civil rights movement is housing. His call for an Economic Fair Housing Act is useful and important. In selling this idea, however, he may create a misleading impression. Economic segregation is growing, with awful consequences for … [Read more...] about “Cashin: A Reply to Kahlenberg” by Sheryll Cashin (July-September 2017 P&R Issue)

“Race vis-a-vis Class in the U.S.?” by john a. powell and Stephen Menendian (November-December 2006 P&R Issue)

December 1, 2006 by

By john a. powell and Stephen Menendian (Click here to view the entire P&R issue) In his groundbreaking 1903 treatise, The Souls of Black Folk, W.E.B. Du Bois wrote, “for the problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color-line.” A century later, and a full generation removed from the battles of the Civil Rights era, many now suggest that class, not race, is … [Read more...] about “Race vis-a-vis Class in the U.S.?” by john a. powell and Stephen Menendian (November-December 2006 P&R Issue)

A Response

December 1, 2001 by

Richard Kahlenberg's might actually be the smart alternative to racial integration he asserts it is if it weren't for one troublesome thing -- racism. While not repeating Gary Orfield's fine critique of the piece, let me say that Kahlenberg appears to be unaware that racism is more than low income or limited access, that class cannot be a substitute for race. Additionally, the … [Read more...] about A Response

“Do We Still Have a Dream?” by Paul L. Wachtel (January-February 2000 P&R Issue)

February 1, 2000 by

By Paul L. Wachtel (Click here to view the entire P&R issue) Steinhorn and Diggs-Brown perform a valuable service in reminding us of how the reality of daily life in America contradicts some of our society’s cherished illusions. But in referring to integration as an illusion there is also a problematic ambiguity that has a potential to impede the very struggle whose … [Read more...] about “Do We Still Have a Dream?” by Paul L. Wachtel (January-February 2000 P&R Issue)

“Needed: An Antiwhite Movement” by Noel Ignatiev (January-February 2000 P&R Issue)

February 1, 2000 by

By Noel Ignatiev (Click here to view the entire P&R issue) Leonard Steinhorn and Barbara Diggs-Brown are right to conclude that integration of black and white must forever remain an illusion. Integration, in the sense they use the term, is incompatible with the existence of white and black as social categories. The society they envision requires not integration of white … [Read more...] about “Needed: An Antiwhite Movement” by Noel Ignatiev (January-February 2000 P&R Issue)

PRRAC – Poverty & Race Research Action Council

The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) is a civil rights law and policy organization based in Washington, D.C. Our mission is to promote research-based advocacy strategies to address structural inequality and disrupt the systems that disadvantage low-income people of color.
