Economic, Social and Cultural Rights "With an African American in the White House, there is no better time for assessing the progress the United States has made in protecting the rights of all its citizens. The Cultural Rights Movement: Fulfilling the Promise of Civil Rights for African Americans offers such an assessment, with an in-depth look at the Obama administrations proposed initiatives as they relate to the African American community and a survey of civil rights issues that need to be reexamined in light of Obamas election. The Cultural Rights Movement is a well-researched, powerfully written analysis of why a substantial number of blacks have yet to get their piece of the American dream. Coverage includes discriminatory lending practices; unfair Congressional redistricting; disparities in physician care and health outcomes; the low number of black students, faculty members and coaches in mainstream universities; the phenomenal high rate of blacks being arrested, convicted and incarcerated; the continual growth of black underemployment and poverty; and the near-total neglect of the reparations issue." -- from publisher's website.
Fearing that the election of Barack Obama as president, although hailed far and wide as a historic moment in American race relations and intimated by others, including Obama himself, as the culmination the Civil Rights Movement, portends little in terms of the actual economic and political practices impacting African American communities in the United States, Bailey (anthropology and public health, East Carolina U.) takes stock of current conditions and initiatives in the realms of education, medical care, policing, reparations issues, and black and white race relations and compares responses to these issues by the Civil Rights Movement to those of Obama (with Bailey frequently working in his own personal experiences of the civil rights era). In the end, he proposes the need for a reinvigorated "cultural rights" movement, which he defines as "as system of shared beliefs, values, and traditions associated with a group of people of common background that is passed down from generation to generation through a process of learning to assert one's rights as a human being."
