About
"With an enviable elegance of prose, penetrating theoretical reasoning, and a careful analysis of truly well designed survey data, "The Velvet Glove" delivers a powerful statement on the dynamics of race, class, and gender."--Lawrence Bobo, University of California, Los Angeles "An explosive, powerful book--laying bare the uselessness of individualism as a solution to today's racial problems, while simultaneously exposing its dominative origins."--Nancy Denton, State University of New York, Albany
