Over the last several decades, academic discourse on racial inequality has focused primarily on political and social issues with significantly less attention on the complex interplay between race and economics. African Americans in the U.S. Economy represents a contribution to recent scholarship that seeks to lessen this imbalance. This book builds upon, and significantly extends, the principles, terminology, and methods of standard economics and black political economy. Influenced by path-breaking studies presented in several scholarly economic journals, this volume is designed to provide a political-economic analysis of the past and present economic status of African Americans.The chapters in this volume represent the work of some of the nation's most distinguished scholars on the various topics presented. The individual chapters cover several well-defined areas, including black employment and unemployment, labor market discrimination, black entrepreneurship, racial economic inequality, urban revitalization, and black economic development. The book is written in a style free of the technical jargon that characterizes most economics textbooks. While the book is methodologically sophisticated, it is accessible to a wide range of students and the general public and will appeal to academicians and practitioners alike.

Such was the ferocity of Croatia's five-year struggle for survival after the 1990 implosion of Communist Yugoslavia that travelers are only now rediscovering one of Europe's most complete all-rounders. With discernment and enthusiasm - the hallmarks of Cadogan - this brand new guide explores Croatia's fascinating mix of classic central European and easy-living southern Mediterranean styles, uncovers long centuries of Roman, Venetian and Austro-Hungarian rule still visible in the culture, architecture and cuisine; and shows that the country's new, confident focus guarantees the warmest of welcomes. Along nearly 1,200 miles of one of the continent's most outstanding coastlines are daydreaming settlements casually studded with Roman antiquities, medieval small town-citadels, cosy fishing villages where modernity is just a whisper, and quiet coves to discover or simply a wilderness park of limestone gorges to explore. Tourism is acknowledged only with a casual shrug on many of the islands in a constellation of nearly 1,200; and inland from that spectacular coast are mountains and gorges, caves and national parks to discover.
