"What interest do different groups of whites have in the perpetuation of racism against blacks in the United States? This straightforward question, which should be distinguished at the outset from the questions of the role various groups of whites have actually played in racism, provides the starting point for the research reported in this book. Although the distribution of benefits from racism has been much discussed, it rarely has been studied systematically in an empirical fashion. This study seeks to fill that vacuum." -- From the preface.
