Description
Introduction Research has shown that Blacks, as a group, are disadvantaged when compared with Whites on a host of sociological indicators including on income, education and occupational status (Avery and Rendall 2002; Denton 2001; Feagin and Vera 1995; Keister 2000; Oliver and Shapiro 1995; Shapiro 2004). In general, Blacks have been shown to earn less than their White counterparts, have lower levels of educational attainment and under representation in jobs with relatively high levels of prestige. However, Blacks are not all equally disadvantaged (Bodenhorn 2002; Dodoo 1997; Logan and Deane 2003). For example, many have written about the diversity that exists within the Black population where income is concerned. William Julius Wilson (1978) pioneered much of the contemporary literature on this matter with his work on the declining significance of race. He argued that race was no longer the most important factor in determining the life chances and opportunities for Blacks. Instead, argued Wilson, class position was taking the place of race for Blacks in America. Evidence of the economic polarization of the Black population could be found in the existence of middle-, working- and lower-class Blacks (Horton et al 2000). In some cases such as in the case of Blacks in Queens County, New York, Blacks surpass Whites in terms of median income, especially foreign-born Blacks (Roberts, 2006).
