William J. Wilson/ The Truly Disadvantaged

Abstract: A 6 page analysis of The Truly Disadvantaged: The Inner City, the Underclass and Public Policy by sociologist William Julius Wilson. In this book, Wilson offers a comprehensive analysis of the problems facing the ghetto underclass, which breaks with the theorists who attribute these problems to a culture of poverty. The writer demonstrates how Wilson argues that it is economics, but culture, that determines the conditions of inner city neighborhoods. No additional sources cited.
