This book chronicles the complex connections between race and class that have marked American social reform since the New Deal, revealing an aspect of the civil rights struggle that that has been too long overlooked or obscured: the struggle for policies to expand social and economic welfare for blacks and whites alike.
Documents that, contrary to popular misconception, the civil rights agenda is an American agenda and not African-American agenda. Organizations like the national Urban League and the NAACP have throughout their history labored to persuade this nation to live up to the edict in our Constitution that 'all men are created equal' and to honor the Preamble which calls upon government to 'promote the general welfare'. (Hugh B. Price, President, National Urban League)
The Hamiltons´ lucid study of the history of policy making in social welfare, from the New Deal to the present, is written from a black perspective and is meticulously researched and documented. Black civil rights organizations, seeking a universal social welfare system, jobs in the regular work force, and national hegemony over government programs, worked for policies that comprised a dual agenda: the pursuit of race-specific issues and the fight for a social welfare agenda that included all citizens regardless of race. Part of the story is that of the clash of the two agendas. . . . Highly recommended.(Choice)

reviewed The Dual Agenda: Race and Social Welfare Policies of Civil Rights Organizations on July 11, 2011 The Dual Agenda: Race and Social Welfare Policies of Civil Rights Organizations
This book was really interesting. It was not what I expected- I was surprised by the fact that it was not exactly what one would consider politically correct. As I was reading it, I came to find that the author, Arthur Schlesinger is an opponent of minority movements because he views them as separatist extremists. He also acknowledges that the usage of political correctness, the "corruption of history" (by some- especially the "Afro-centrics") and the manipulation of the educational system as their main weapons. In my opinion, he makes some very valid points but at the same time he was so open in his opinion about certain things that it was a bit shocking for me. This is definitely a very thought provoking book and I can see why it is considered so controversial. I am sure that this book has pissed A LOT of people off.
