It's both highly readable and meets rigorous academic standards. It's not to be missed by anyone with a genuine interest in race and employment inequality. --T. Wayne Parent, Louisiana State University This is a bittersweet book--it is among the best of Jim Button's works on southern communities, and, alas, he is no longer with us. Button, Rienzo, and Croucher examine black economic opportunities in six Florida communities that represent the Old and New South. Using a variety of methodological approaches, the authors give us a detailed and nuanced view of the ability of black communities within these cities to gain an economic foothold. This is an excellent piece of scholarship and makes a major contribution to our understanding of the South and black progress. --Paula D. McClain, Duke University This is an exceptional work of scholarship that presents a comprehensive and compelling study of racial inequality in employment that also provides prescriptions for change. It's both highly readable and meets rigorous academic standards. It's not to be missed by anyone with a genuine interest in race and employment inequality. --T.
