"This book is a tour de force. With clarity and conviction, Dorothy Brown reveals how U.S. tax policy sustains and deepens the wealth gap between black and white Americans. As I read The Whiteness of Wealth, I found myself shaking my head as I eagerly turned the pages and shouting 'damn' with each revelation. If we are finally to address the long history of racism in this country, we must grapple with the arguments of Brown's powerful book. This is a must -read for these troubling times." --Eddie S. Glaude Jr., New York Times bestselling author of Begin Again and Democracy in Black, "This enlightening book is a vital companion to The New Jim Crow, The Color of Wealth, and Evicted , for how it reimagines everything you thought you knew about U.S. social policy." --Tressie McMillan Cottom, MacArthur Fellow and author of Thick: And Other Essays "This book is a tour de force.

Glaude Jr., New York Times bestselling author of Begin Again and Democracy in Black "I couldn't put it down! Dorothy Brown skillfully weaves her analysis of the racial bias in tax law with compelling personal stories of both Black and White taxpayers as well as policy recommendations for how to bring equity to our tax system." --Beverly Daniel Tatum, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? "At once passionate and analytical, The Whiteness of Wealth is a bracing contribution to the history of policy racism that takes us to the heart of taxation's effects on patterns of economic distribution." --Ira Katznelson, author of When Affirmative Action Was White "In this urgent account, Dorothy Brown incisively unpacks how racism is embedded in our nation's tax system, enhancing White wealth at the expense of Black Americans." --Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist and Stamped from the Beginning "An eye-opening look at race-based economic biases, with reasonable steps to undo them." --Kirkus Reviews "An illuminating exploration of how U.S. tax policies exacerbate the Black-white wealth gap." --Publishers Weekly "Brown . . . writes brilliantly and lucidly on systemic racism and injustice within the American tax system. [ The Whiteness of Wealth ] is an eye-opening, well-sourced and -argued account of tax law and economic policy at the intersection of racism and social history." --Booklist (starred review) "[An] accessible and lively . . . primer on how wealth works in America." --Bloomberg Businessweek
Synopsis
A groundbreaking exposé of racism in the American taxation system from a law professor and expert on tax policy NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND FORTUNE - "Important reading for those who want to understand how inequality is built into the bedrock of American society, and what a more equitable future might look like."--Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist Dorothy A. Brown became a tax lawyer to get away from race. As a young black girl growing up in the South Bronx, she'd seen how racism limited the lives of her family and neighbors. Her law school classes offered a refreshing contrast: Tax law was about numbers, and the only color that mattered was green. But when Brown sat down to prepare tax returns for her parents, she found something strange: James and Dottie Brown, a plumber and a nurse, seemed to be paying an unusually high percentage of their income in taxes. When Brown became a law professor, she set out to understand why. In The Whiteness of Wealth , Brown draws on decades of cross-disciplinary research to show that tax law isn't as color-blind as she'd once believed. She takes us into her adopted city of Atlanta, introducing us to families across the economic spectrum whose stories demonstrate how American tax law rewards the preferences and practices of white people while pushing black people further behind. From attending college to getting married to buying a home, black Americans find themselves at a financial disadvantage compared to their white peers. The results are an ever-increasing wealth gap and more black families shut out of the American dream. Solving the problem will require a wholesale rethinking of America's tax code. But it will also require both black and white Americans to make different choices. This urgent, actionable book points the way forward., A groundbreaking exposé of racism in the American taxation system from a law professor and expert on tax policy NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND FORTUNE * "Important reading for those who want to understand how inequality is built into the bedrock of American society, and what a more equitable future might look like."--Ibram X.

- e***i (159)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaGreat book for a great price. Shipped quickly, but only packed in a poly bag, so the book suffered some mild corner damage in shipping. Aside from that, the book matched the description of its condition and I’m happy overall. Great seller!
- t***t (305)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaAAAA++++ SELLER!!!! Book was shipped very quickly and item price was also good. My only complaint is the shipping packaging. This book came loosely placed in a plastic bag so I can't tell if the damage to the dust jacket happened in shipping or it was already in that condition. But, as I already stated, the overall price was good so I shouldn't really complain. Overall, I've had positive experience with hpb-ruby so I'd still definitely recommend buying from them.
