Items related to Tragic Failure: Racial Integration in America
Synopsis
For twenty-five years Tom Wicker wrote for The New York Times with passion and intelligence, educating a generation of readers on important social and political issues of the day. In Tragic Failure, this keen observer assesses the failure of racial integration in America.
Thirty years after the landmark achievements of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, racial equality has made little progress and has, in fact, suffered setbacks as issues such as affirmative action, welfare reform, crime, and unemployment have made race the subtext for bitter political debate. Here, Mr. Wicker examines the current state of race relations and proposes some bold solutions-including major political realignment-to the disturbing and complex problems of race in America.

Review
A former political columnist for The New York Times and the author of more than a dozen books, including A Time to Die: The Attica Prison Revolt and One of Us: Richard Nixon and the American Dream, Wicker believes that the problems of the urban ghetto are the result of the failure of the American political system to provide opportunity and jobs for disadvantaged youth. His solution begins with blacks abandoning the Democrats once and for all and instead working to create a new liberal political party "truly committed, not just paying lip service, to economic opportunity and social justice for all."
About the Author
Tom Wicker retired as a political columnist for The New York Times in 1991, having won numerous awards and accolades. Author of nine novels and five nonfiction books, he lives in New York City and Rochester, Vermont.
