Title: Black and brown in America
First published: 1997
Description: 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.

Reviewing similarities and differences between the Black and Brown experience in America, Bill Piatt emphasizes the need for solidarity, cooperation, and mutual understanding and offers explicit proposals for greater racial harmony. Blacks and Browns must get along not only for their sake, he argues, but in the interest of a stronger, more stable America.
