- Abstract:
The article discusses the social exclusion of African-Americans in the U.S. despite inclusion in the political realm. Topics include a brief examination of how the enslavement of blacks facilitated the growth of democracy in the U.S., the impact of the Civil War and the Jim Crow system, and the social and economic conditions of African-Americans in the twenty and twenty-first centuries. Reasons for the persistent separation of whites and blacks in private life is also presented.
