The predicament of race shapes the social and cultural land­ scape of this society. That this has been long true prompted Dr. W.E .B . DuBois to insightful ly remark that "the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color l ine,-the relation of the darker to the lighter races . . . in Asia and Africa, i n America and the islands of the sea" (W. E .B . DuBois, Souls of Black Folk. New York: The B lue Heron Press, 1 953, 1 3 ) . DuBois was not offering a critique of race as an abstract sociological or cultural idea; he was critically commenting on how race as a social construct -as social practice was being used all over the world to penal ize, subjugate, colon ize, and dehumanize people. The people who were the objects of this foul treatment were deemed by their tormentors to be members of valued " races" . Race, racism, and the color l ine, all of which are products of the imagination of the racist, have been instrumental in producing l ines of social demarcation in the United States. This book is about the h istorical struggle by people of color to abolish the invidious color l ine . And in this regard and because of its particular treatment of the subject; th is is a valuable and chal leng­ ing com pendium of recent scholarsh i p on the subject of racism and racial progress in the nat ion. This book i s valuable in that i t i s an interdiscipl inary discourse on the subject. I ts perspectives, ranging from those of dist inguished legal scholars l ike Derrick Be l l , J u l ius L. Chambers and Patrica J. Wi l l i ams, to h ighly respected academicians represented by Kenneth B . C lark, Stanford Lyman and Ronald Takaki, provide us mult iple lenses th rough which to assess the presence and p lacement of race in th i s nat ion's social h i story. Race in America i s challenging because we are p resented with clear and persuasive arguments l ike those offered by Wi l l iams and Morris i n their chapter, " Racism and Our Future", for our cont inu ing stru ggle against what some bel ieve is the i ncreas ing sign i ficance of race i n th i s post modern SOCiety. This book bri ngs both h eat and l ight to bear on the subject of the continuing struggle to overcome the l egacy of race discr im ina­ t ion . The sixteen essays contained in this book are formatted within the book's four major parts : "The Past i s PrOlogue: Historical Perspec­ t ive"; " B rown and After : The Legal Struggle"; "The Persi stence of Discrimination" ; and " Perspectives: Past and Future" . This ar range­ ment al lows for a fairly smooth chronological flow of the essays/ chapters. The reader is aware of the context of each discussion. I
