Andrew Billingsley Book World
A major contribution to our understanding of both racism and poverty... One hopes that the book will be read, not only by other scholars and policy analysts, but by a broad spectrum of citizens and by all the leaders of the nation.
Times Literary Supplement - Charles Murray
Richly documented ... A splendid book. American Apartheid explores a topic that many of us have come to take for granted, presents a fascinating array of data that have never been assembled in one place and compellingly argues that segregation is crucial to understanding what has happened to [urban] blacks.
Choice - D. K. Jamieson
An incredibly readable book that must be studied by all Americans—liberal and conservative, black and white.
New Republic - Nathan Glazer
In the meticulousness of its research and the density of its arguments, [American Apartheid] stands well apart from even the best-argued and most amply documented books by journalists on racial problems.
Contemporary Sociology - Roberto M. Fernandez
Essential reading for anyone interested in the causes, and possible cures, of urban poverty.
