By the year 2000, minorities, chiefly Hispanics and African Americans, will constitute one-third of the population of this nation. Against that demographic background, One-Third of a Nation presents a collection of essays that give a historical overview, outline current situations, and propose solutions for areas of major concerns in African-American life, such as employment, housing, health care, and political participation. Howard University Press is proud to make One-Third of a Nation: African American Perspectives available to a 21st-century audience. |
