[lbo-talk] Beyond Cosby: finding high quality analyses of contemporary racism and underclass sociology

[Dwayne Monroe]

Now that the smoke’s cleared, the radiation level has
diminished and the fires have gone out we can examine
the wreckage of the racism/Cosby/”underclass
pathology” debates to gather forensic data.

Although there’s near total agreement that almost
nothing useful can come of parsing Cosby it would be a
pity to leave the topic closed without offering
alternative sources for alternative threads.

So, I’m wondering if anyone can recommend works
(theory, telling anecdotes, what have you) by sharp
thinkers and ‘ground level’ workers that deal with
these issues in a comprehensive and thoughtful way.
