"Manning Marable offers profound insight into the deeply intertwined problems of race and class in the United States historically and today. How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America dispenses impeccably comprehensive research to expose the realities of African American poverty, health, employment, and education, as well as other demographics. Marable's conclusions prove an undeniable connection between the oppression and exploitation of Black America and capitalism." --Back cover.
