Public Lecture by Darrick Hamilton – Associate Professor of Economics and Urban Policy, Milano and the New School for Social Research
Black Americans with high levels of educational attainment still, paradoxically, exhibit large disparities in economic and health outcomes. The post-racial politics of personal responsibility and tropes of ‘neoliberal paternalism’ discourage public responsibility for the conditions of the poor and black Americans, and, instead, encourage punitive measures to ‘manage’ these communities.
