In this unique study, L. Richard DellaFave challenges some of the key unspoken assumptions of race relations and offers a better explanation of why racial inequality has stubbornly persisted for nearly half a century.
DellaFave focuses our attention on the worldwide capitalist system that pits individuals and groups against one another and also requires vast inequalities in order to function. He argues for a paradigm that would have us identify the conditions under which capitalism might be overcome.

Author L. Richard “Rick” DellaFave is Professor of Sociology at North Carolina State University where he has been on the faculty since 1976.

Product Description

Can Racial In-Equality be Overcome?

In this unique study, L. Richard Della Fave challenges some of the key unspoken assumptions of race relations and offers a better explanation of why racial inequality has stubbornly persisted for nearly half a century since the rise of the civil rights movement.

While embracing the role of struggles among groups over scarce resources, DellaFave focuses our attention on the nature of the context within which these struggles take place, namely a worldwide capitalist system, a system that necessarily pits individuals and groups against one another and also requires vast inequalities in order even to function.

He argues for a paradigm that would have us identify the conditions under which capitalism might be overcome.

DellaFave s text details and draws from the work of C.L.R. James, W.E.B. DuBois, Angela Y. Davis, Manning Marable, Oliver C. Cox, Karl Marx and Martin Luther King.
