"The construction of theory about the black experience in the 21st century cannot be grounded solely in the concept of the nation-state. With the transformation of productive forces, vast migrations of populations from rural to urban areas and the creation of new technologies, the social foundations for the reality of race are being radically transformed. Our ideas about the black diaspora are rapidly changing through the processes of globalization and urbanization. Charles Green's informative and provocative anthology outlines these vast social, economic, and cultural changes on a global scale. The traditional forms of racism and class domination are giving way to new forms of global exploitation. Globalization and Survival in the Black Diaspora points toward an urgently needed new perspective both in our scholarship and political world view." -- Manning Marable, Director, Institute for Research in African-American Studies, Columbia University "This book's major contribution is to locate the problem of the black American underclass in a broad comparative perspective. It focuses on the problem of race and poverty in cities of North America, Western Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa. In doing so, it shows that the problems associated with the so-called underclass--long-term unemployment, crime, family instability, and alienated youth--are global phenomena. This is an important corrective to the parochial Americanist approach which tends to explain the phenomenon in terms of factors specific to the United States, such as deindustrialization and institutional racism."-- Robert C. Smith, author of We Have No Leaders: African Americans in the Post-Civil Rights Era "This is a critically important topic; comparative analysis of black living conditions in the U.S. and abroad is lacking. The book is timely and it presents a broad treatment of the subject matter. It responds to a vacuum of information and it places U.S. attitudes within an international context." -- James Jennings, Trotter Institute, University of Massachusetts, Boston

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
