I recall that when I TA'd for a course on inequality, we took up a debate between Wilson and Massey and Denton. Interesting to me now that I know more about him and his current leanings that Wilson was defending the "declining significance of race" (also the title of the book at issue). M and D were highlighting the persistence of rampant racism in housing and lending markets. Since I've been working part-time for several years now in the civil rights movement, often drawing on M and D's _American Apartheid_, I'd really like to revisit this "debate," largely in order to learn what it was that Wilson was arguing.
