About the book:
Structural Racism: The Dynamics of Opportunity and Race in America, a groundbreaking new book by OBI Assistant Director Stephen Menendian, explains how racial inequality in the United States is produced and perpetuated and what should be done about it. It develops the elusive concept of “structural racism,” presenting a precise definition that is clear and comprehensible, and illustrates how it operates methodically and rigorously.
