William Julius Wilson Knihy
20. december 1935
William Julius Wilson patrí medzi popredných afroamerických sociológov v USA a je priekopníkom v odbore. Jeho dielo sa primárne zameriava na postavenie chudobných Afroameričanov v mestských oblastiach, pričom skúma, ako kombinácia triednych a rasových bariér bráni ich rozvoju. Wilsonov výskum zdôrazňuje vplyv socioekonomickej triedy, čo vyvoláva debaty o tom, či táto perspektíva nebagatelizuje dopad rasizmu. Jeho vplyvné diela inšpirovali aj populárne televízne seriály, čo svedčí o ich širokom kultúrnom dopade.

There is growing awareness of the common difficulties experienced by poor young people who grow up in cities--crime and juvenile delinquency, limited access to education, the spread of infectious diseases, homelessness, and high rates of unprotected sex. They must contend with weak families and social institutions, poor labor market prospects, and for the most unfortunate, the ravages of gang war and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Chapters in this volume present and assess comparative evidence on the well-being of urban youth and proven interventions for assuaging the deleterious effects of poverty.
