RACE AND INEQUALITY

IN THE

OBAMA ERA AND BEYOND

Over the past 30 years, income and wealth inequality rose significantly in the U.S. African Americans have been disproportionately affected by this widening gap, even as the nation elected its first African American president. The 2015 ABS conference explores the ironies and paradoxes of rising wealth and income equality in and beyond the Obama era. It also considers the consequences of the level and direction of wealth inequality across a multidisciplinary spectrum of research inquiry.
