Synopsis
Referring to W.E.B. DuBois' contention that race would be "the problem of the 20th century," Anderson (social sciences, U. of Pennsylvania) and Massey (sociology, U. of Pennsylvania) present 16 articles that explore the myriad ways that DuBois' prediction continues to resonate at the beginning of the 21st. After exploring theoretical and conceptual issues about the construction of racial identities and how concepts of race interact with other social constructions such as gender, class, and nationality; fundamental demographic issues are explored including the relative paucity and inaccuracies of data on race in America, the data on marriage in the inner cities, and the high rate of mortality among African Americans. Finally, geographic issues of segregation are explored and specific processes of racial stratification in employment and education are discussed. Annotation c.

Du Bois, published THE PHILADELPHIA NEGRO, the first systematic case study of an African American community and one of the foundations of American sociology. Du Bois prophesied that the 'color line' would be 'the problem of the twentieth century.' One hundred years later, PROBLEM OF THE CENTURY reflects upon his prophecy, exploring the ways in which the color line is still visible in the labor market, the housing market, education, family structure, and many other aspects of life at the turn of a new century."
