Overview
Born in the flames of the Los Angeles rebellion, Another America, is a fiery collection of trenchant essays on race, class, and politics. Provocative and compelling, Kofi Buenor Hadjor's work argues that racial issues are often camouflaged in neoconservative debates and policy proposals about crime, welfare, poverty, and family values. The U.S. government's ongoing war on the underclass, the assaults on affirmative action, the myth of reverse discrimination, the so-called war on drugs give weight to Hadjor's theory that African Americans are being blamed for their plight in a society where racism remains an integral part of all institutions.Editorials

Examines problems facing social security systems in countries ranging from the US and Britain through Poland and Uruguay to Turkey and Zimbabwe. Concludes that though cross-cultural generalizations are dangerous, administrators and politicians in industrialized countries tend to face political pressures and structural constraints that limit their ability to respond to changing conditions, and in developing countries they must also deal with the growing disparity both between and within countries. A second volume will survey solutions, particularly alternatives to the predominant insurance model. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
