Inherited inequality

Inherited inequality Why opportunity gaps persist between Black and white youth raised in two-parent families

Christina J. Cross

Book - 2025

"Christina Cross decisively refutes culture-of-poverty narratives blaming family structure for persistent racial inequality. Marshalling extensive longitudinal data, Cross shows that Black kids raised in two-parent homes still fare worse than white counterparts, inviting a wholesale rethinking of the logics underlying US social-welfare policy."-- Provided by publisher.
