How Public Policy Impacts Racial Inequality<\/em>, edited by Josh Grimm and Jaime Loke, brings together scholars of political science, sociology, and mass communication to provide an in-depth analysis of race in the United States<\/a> through the lens of public policy. This vital collection outlines how racial issues such as profiling, wealth inequality, and housing segregation relate to policy decisions at both the local and national levels. Each chapter explores the inherent conflict between policy enactment, perception, and enforcement.<\/p>\n

Contributors present original research focused on specific areas where public policy displays racial bias. Josh Grimm places Donald Trump\u2019s immigration policies<\/a>\u2014planned and implemented\u2014in historical perspective, identifying trends and patterns in common between earlier legislation and contemporary debates. Shaun\u00a0L. Gabbidon<\/a> considers the role of the American justice system in creating and magnifying racial and ethnic disparities, with particular attention to profiling, police killings, and reform efforts. Jackelyn Hwang<\/a>, Elizabeth Roberto<\/a>, and Jacob\u00a0S. Rugh<\/a> illustrate the continued presence of residential segregation as a major fixture defining the American racial landscape. As a route to considering digital citizenship and racial justice, Srividya Ramasubramanian<\/a> examines how race shapes media-related policy in ways that perpetuate inequalities in media access, ownership, and representation. Focusing on lead poisoning, tobacco, and access to healthy foods, Holley\u00a0A. Wilkin<\/a> discusses solutions for improving overall health equity. In a study of legal precedents, Mary\u00a0E. Campbell<\/a> and Sylvia\u00a0M. Emmanuel detail the extent to which measures aimed at addressing inequality often neglect multiracial individuals and groups.<\/strong> By examining specific policies that created wealth inequality along racial lines, Lori Latrice Martin<\/a> shows how current efforts perpetuate asset poverty for many African Americans. Shifting focus to media reception, Ismail\u00a0K. White<\/a>, Chryl\u00a0N. Laird<\/a>, Ernest\u00a0B. McGowen III<\/a>, and Jared\u00a0K. Clemons<\/a> analyze political opinion formation stemming from mainstream information sources versus those specifically targeting African American audiences.<\/p>\n

Presenting nuanced case studies of key topics, How Public Policy Impacts Racial Inequality<\/em> offers a timely and wide- ranging collection on major social and political issues unfolding in twenty-first century America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
