The African American population in the United States has always been seen as a single entity: a Black America with unified interests and needs. In his groundbreaking book, Disintegration, PulitzerPrize winning columnist Eugene Robinson argues that over decades of desegregation, affirmative action, and immigration, the concept of Black America has shattered. Instead of one black America, now there are four: a Mainstream middleclass majority with a full ownership stake in American society; a large, Abandoned minority with less hope of escaping poverty and dysfunction than at any time since Reconstructions crushing end; a small Transcendent elite with such enormous wealth, power, and influence that even white folks have to genuflect; and two newly Emergent groupsindividuals of mixedrace heritage and communities of recent black immigrantsthat make us wonder what black is even supposed to mean.
