Race and Economic Inequality in the United States since 1945

William A. Darity Jr., Duke University, US and the late Samuel L. Myers Jr., formerly Roy Wilkins Professor of Human Relations and Social Justice, University of Minnesota, US

Persistent Disparity provides a comprehensive examination of the magnitude and scope of racial economic disparity in the United States. The authors directly assess the extent of black economic progress in the US since World War II and address the controversy of whether the racial income gap is closing or widening as America approaches the 21st century.

‘. . . the authors raise serious questions that often are not dealt with much in the mainstream economics literature. . . . Persistent Disparity is an interesting book with a provocative thesis that challenges conventional thinking. . .’
– John Lunn, Faith and Economics

‘Darity and Myers provide a trenchant analysis of recent trends in US black-white income differences. The book provides useful counterweight to and pointed critique of a recent spate of economic articles arguing that income convergence is occurring and that remaining racial differences are due to differential skill attainment.’
