Conventional wisdom holds that these inequalities can only be eliminated by eradicating racism and providing well-funded social programs. Wax applies concepts from the law of remedies to show that the conventional wisdom is mistaken. She argues that effectively addressing today's persistent racial disparities requires dispelling the confusion surrounding blacks' own role in achieving equality.The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that discrimination against blacks has dramatically abated. Black Americans continue to lag behind on many measures of social and economic well-being. Wax asserts that the black community must solve these problems from within. Although these maladaptive patterns are largely the outgrowth of past discrimination and oppression, they now largely resist correction by government programs or outside interventions. In Race, Wrongs, and Remedies, Amy L. Self-help, changed habits, and a new cultural outlook are, in fact, the only effective tactics for eliminating the present vestiges of our nation's racist past.Published in cooperation with the Hoover Institution. The most important factors now impeding black progress are behavioral: low educational attainment, poor socialization and work habits, drug use, criminality, paternal abandonment, and non-marital childbearing
Richard B. Schwartz said A courageous and important book. This is a courageous book. Describing its perspective as `self-help', the author argues that structural, governmental, `external' solutions for inequalities by race have now largely run their course and their returns have diminished significantly. The solutions to inequality now rest with the black community itself. `Hard struggles' remain, but `brick walls' have largely been removed. The principal problems causing the continuing inequalities are behavioral and cultural.Given the response to arguments along this line from Bill Cosby, Juan Williams, et . "Three cheers for Blame the Victim!" according to Herbert Gintis. Since about 1985 I have held a "blame the victim" attitude towards minority oppression. By this I have never meant in any way that the victims deserve their plight. Far from it: victims are victims and will remain victims until they end their victimization. Rather, I have been arguing that only by banning together in collective struggle can the victimization be defeated, and only the victims have a real interest in ending their own oppression.Jews, Gypsies and gays were not responsible for being gassed, shot, hanged, and simply kicked to death by Hitle. Finally, a refreshingly honest and smart book on race Sammie Much is written about race these days, but little is said. The prevailing discussion about race and social welfare policy has become predictable and an unproductive. Authors focus on blame and how to craft polices to undo the harm of the past. Despite years of mounting evidence that this approach is systematically flawed, the march continues steadfastly on: improvements for racial minorities can only come with additional government policies which must focus on how the dominate culture will cure the ills of minorities.Professor Wax's contribution is a w
Its message is bold and clear. (Amy Wax) reviews a great deal of social science data showing the pallid or perverse effects of policies aimed at teenage pregnancy, education, job training, prison rehabilitation, and many more. Wax combines conceptual insights from the law of torts and remedies with a thorough reading of the scholarship on racial disparities to bring much-needed clarity to the discussion of the black man's burden. This book will help change the dialogue of race in America from a discussion about passive victims, guilt, and reparations to a more active embrace of individual responsibility and human agency.
