William Julius Wilson is Lewis P. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor at Harvard University and director of the Joblessness and Urban Poverty Research Program and the Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy. He is the author of numerous publications, including The Declining Significance of Race, and The Truly Disadvantaged, both published by the University of Chicago Press.
"The Truly Disadvantaged should spur critical thinking in many quarters about the causes and possible remedies for inner city poverty. As policy makers grapple with the problems of an enlarged underclass they--as well as community leaders and all concerned Americans of all races--would be advised to examine Mr. Wilson's incisive analysis."--Robert Greenstein, New York Times Book Review
"'Must reading' for civil-rights leaders, leaders of advocacy organizations for the poor, and for elected officials in our major urban centers."--Bernard C. Watson, Journal of Negro Education
"Required reading for anyone, presidential candidate or private citizen, who really wants to address the growing plight of the black urban underclass."--David J. Garrow, Washington Post Book World
Selected by the editors of the New York Times Book Review as one of the sixteen best books of 1987.
Winner of the 1988 C. Wright Mills Award of the Society for the Study of Social Problems.

威爾遜在書中引用大量的數字,令指齣美國內城區的低層階級窮睏的原因是種族問題和階級問題的疊加纍積的結果。 觀點: 1. 內城區真正的窮人明顯有色人種的比重大於白人。 2. 在成書的這段時間(1987),美國城市生存環境惡化,內城區內貧睏現象加劇,“偉大社會”這一改革計劃失...

評分Wilson對於joblessness這個variable的分析和重視在今天看來誠然是不夠全麵的,隻限於芝加哥一個城市也讓人質疑其理論普世性,而且令我感到詫異的是他完全沒有提到芝加哥強大的party machine對於構建isolated innercity communities的作用。Massey對他的理論是很好的補充和挑戰。但無論怎麼講,這本書是後世學者怎麼也繞不開的seminal work,其也對裏根時期由Murray為首的保守派領頭的對於welfare state的攻擊和 personal responsibility的重視做齣瞭極好的迴擊。
