Journal Article
This article explores the potential contributions of the economic segmentation framework in stratification research to the explanation of racial attitudes and beliefs. Employing data from a ...nationally representative telephone survey, the impact of sectoral location on whites' views about the institutional production of racial inequality is examined. The findings indicate that, unlike the effects of traditional stratification variables, position in the segmented economy exerts no unique influence upon racial orientation.

Derrick Bell has offered the disquieting but apt observation that “racism is an integral, permanent, and indestructible component of this society.”¹ Contemporary discourse and public policy making ...regarding race suggest that racial subordination will continue to be an intractable problem, shaping the lives of all Americans, including Asian Americans.

Law can make a difference, but the problem of racism is much wider and much deeper than many of
The presence of political refugees and undocumented immigrants is a contentious issue in many contemporary democracies. These immigrants are also at the core of the ongoing construction of a common ...policy framework across Europe. They are also intertwined with other contentious issues on which contributors to this volume have shed some valuable light. These issues include the enforcement of border controls, threats to national security, the radicalization of Islam, and the position of Muslims in democracies. Despite their decreasing numbers, asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants have gained salience in recent years. Their presence has brought about similar political developments across
Capitalizing upon the panel component of the 1972–1976 National Election Study, we explore change in white Americans' support for racial equality. Two general propositions regarding individual change ...are examined: frustration-aggression theory, which attributes change to the stresses and strains of private life; and realistic group conflict theory, which attributes change to the tangible threats blacks pose to whites' private interests. We find intermittent support for the first and virtually no support for the second. Much more impressive is the durability of opinion on racial equality, the insulation of racial opinion from the ostensibly powerful predicaments of private life.
