by Michael Eric Dyson (Author), Marc Favreau (Author)

New York Times bestselling author Michael Eric Dyson and critically acclaimed author Marc Favreau show how racial inequality permeates every facet of American society, through the lens of those pushing for meaningful change.

The true story of racial inequality--and resistance to it--is the prologue to our present. You can see it in where we live, where we go to school, where we work, in our laws, and in our leadership. Unequal presents a gripping account of the struggles that shaped America and the insidiousness of racism, and demonstrates how inequality persists.

As readers meet some of the many African American people who dared to fight for a more equal future, they also discover a framework for addressing racial injustice in their own lives.
