But are there mitigating actions that society could take against them? Diane Carpenter Emling explores this question in <i>Institutional Racism and Restorative Justice: Oppression and Privilege in America</i>. Moving beyond the immediate sources and consequences of prejudice, racism and inequality, to thoroughly assess approaches to restorative justice, Emling details America's complex history of racism, demonstrating how it becomes embedded in society through land ownership, housing, education, health care, employment, public services and criminal justice. For each of these issues, she suggests actions to restore justice. But societies don't operate institution by institution, and extraordinary changes will be necessary to address systemic racism. Directed at college undergraduate students, Emling's book offers a valued contribution for teaching courses in African American studies, sociology, economics, politics and American history. Written in a comprehensive and accessible style, this book offers a much-needed perspective in the literature on institutional racism.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Diane Carpenter Emling</strong> holds a PhD in sociology, emphasizing political economy, from Michigan State University.
