""Holder and Wicks-Lim's exceptional volume provides a long overdue reckoning with the central role of anti-Blackness in the US economy. The Political Economy of Racism challenges popular mythology about racial outcomes by providing a theoretically sophisticated and empirically grounded analysis of the history of anti-Black racism and its persistence in stratifying the US into a racial order that provides structural advantages on the basis of Whiteness and disadvantages of Blackness. As a beacon of light at the end of a very dark tunnel into which the US is rapidly moving."" Nina Banks, Bucknell University ""This is a landmark publication in stratification economics - an approach that examines socioeconomic and wealth inequality within and between social groups. From this perspective racial groups differ according to their access to resources, not biogenetic characteristics. It is a must-read for a wide audience: an undergraduate introduction, a reference text for graduate students, an important source for activists and policymakers, a guide for theorists, and it provides for general readers a highly informative text on inequality.""
