520 |a In this brief, accessible, impassioned volume, Bill Piatt surveys Black/Brown relations in their entirety, devoting chapters to such issues as competition in a shrinking labor market, the re-segregation of our public schools, the language barrier, gang warfare, and voting coalitions.

Blacks and Browns must get along not only for their sake, he argues, but in the interest of a stronger, more stable America.
