False Black Power? (New Threats to Freedom Series)

False Black Power? by Jason L.

Riley is a thought-provoking book that challenges the conventional wisdom of black political power and its impact on economic advancement.

The author provides an honest and factual look at why increased black political power has not led to the promised outcomes, and instead, racial gaps in employment, income, homeownership, academic achievement, and other measures have widened.

Riley argues that the focus on political capital for blacks has been a disadvantage, blocking them from the fiscal capital that helped power upward mobility among other groups.

The book includes critiques from leading black intellectuals John McWhorter and Glenn Loury, providing a comprehensive view of the issue.

False Black Power? is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between political power and economic advancement for black Americans.
