Description du livre Softcover. Etat : new. The 1964 Civil Rights Act in conjunction with the Voting Rights Act of the following year totally transformed the shape of American race relations Supporters of the Civil Rights Act sought at minimum the elimination of racial segregation in publicly supported schools hospitals public transport and other public spaces and an end to open and blatant racial discrimination in employment practicesJudged in those terms the act is a remarkable success story It has shown the power of the central government to change deeply entrenched patterns of behavior In terms of the law blacks are no longer secondclass citizens From other perspectives however the act is seen as a failure Either it went too far by institutionalizing racespecific forms of preferences or it did not go far enough leaving untouched the socioeconomic differences and lingering effects of past discrimination that perpetuate racebased inequitiesLegacies of the 1964 Civil Rights Act brings together a distinguished group of political scientists historians lawyers statisticians and sociologists who have written extensively on civil rights issues The editor Bernard Grofman has asked the contributors to stand back from the immediate controversies about civil rights reflected in todays news and to provide historical and comparative perspective about this important legislation Organized into four sections the book covers the origins of the act and its historical evolution its consequences in several different policy domains and the future of civil rights in the United States An appendix contains two somewhat more technical essays on legal standards for statutory violations and statistical issues in measuring discriminationBecause the moral urgency of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was triggered by revulsion against racial segregation the acts legacy is primarily seen in the life chances of African Americans This volume provides a broad and detailed picture of the acts impact on African Americans lives.
