Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when you do everything society tells you to do-get educated, work hard, develop your skills, and prove your ability-but race still affects the opportunities placed before you?CAPABLE, BUT STILL BLACK examines the continuing relationship between race, opportunity, achievement, and equality in America. From the historical legacy of slavery and segregation to contemporary experiences in education, employment, leadership, wealth, and professional advancement, Stanley Nkemnole explores how racial barriers have changed-and where they continue to matter.This book does not present Black Americans only through the lens of struggle. It also examines achievement, resilience, personal responsibility, entrepreneurship, education, leadership, and the extraordinary progress made across generations.At its heart is a difficult question: When a person has the qualifications, experience, discipline, and ability to succeed, what happens when racial perceptions still influence how that capability is recognized?Combining historical context, contemporary research, workplace realities, and thoughtful social analysis, CAPABLE, BUT STILL BLACK invites readers to move beyond slogans and examine both the progress America has made and the work that remains.This is a book about more than discrimination. It is about capability, recognition, opportunity, responsibility, progress, and the unfinished pursuit of equality in America.
