This remains, without question, one of the most excellent and insightful assessments of race in America. Whether you are a US citizen or an international visitor to the US this book is fundmental to understanding the hidden dimensions of ongoing racial division. Read it and pass it on in the hope that people will recognise the irrefutable evidence of racial segregation offered by Massey and Denton.
I have found that this book is extremelly helpful when writing a research paper. It is an easy read and an insightful work. I would not rely to much on what the previous "Professor" commented on. Though he/she is a professor they cant put a decent sentance together or spell.
I am sorry, but when I was reading this, It did not catch my attention, but rather put me to sleep. I am a college professor, and my students have written better papers than this. Have fun reading it if you want to fall a sleep. If you cant sleep, pick up this book
