Abstract
- This study highlights some of the main arguments raised in my latest book, When Work Disappears (19%), and discusses their implications for understanding issues related to race and urban poverty in Britain and other European countries. I emphasize that public understanding of these issues has been hindered by two pernicious effects of racial ideology in America: (1) a tendency among those on both the left and the right to disassociate the high inner-city jobless and welfare receipt rates from the impact of changes in the global economy, and (2) weak support for government programmes to alleviate economic distress in the inner city. I argue for a vision that acknowledges racially distinct problems and the need for certain race-specific remedies, but at the same time emphasizes the importance of transracial solutions to share problems.
