Description

Product Description This book follows a study of 100 low-income African Americans living in a suburb of Detroit and how these individuals experience social categories such as race, class, and gender, and how these impact their understanding of the world of work. About the Author Alford Young, Jr. (Ph. D., Chicago) is associate professor of sociology at Michigan where he has a joint appointment with the Center for Afroamerican and African Studies. His research focuses on how African Americans understand themselves and their society and the implications for public policy. A former student of Charles Lemert, he has just published The Minds of Marginalized Black Men with Princeton UP. He has published numerous articles, contributed chapters to a number of books, and has a co-authored book in progress with Paradigm. He is a much sought after rising star I’ve been after for years.
