Racial Harmony in the City

In some cities, pockets of serenity can be found where people of many races find themselves mingling and enjoying each other's presence. Yale sociologist Elijah Anderson, author of The Cosmopolitan Canopy: Race and Civility in Everyday Life, has studied these public spaces and shares what they reveal about us and our hope as a society. Karen Saupe hosts.

Call me biased, but I think the extreme Right has become militantly disrespectful.

Great book especially for those who believe that race is no longer a major issue in America.

Skip Walker Did you read the whole book? It is hard to believe you read the book. Race is indeed a major issue in America, and the book says so, especially in the second half -- it introduces what black people often call the ”nigger moment.” To gain perspective and to understand how racial bigotry works today, you need to read and engage the whole book.
