Understanding Why Capitalism Is Not Always Transcended
African American Cooperatives and Sabotage
Community-Based Asset Building and Community Wealth
The author traces involvement in the wealth inequality movement since 1999 and the frustrations with realistically addressing wealth inequality and racial wealth gaps. This paper outlines the journey from understanding the importance of wealth in African American and other communities, to addressing collective structures for accumulating assets and wealth for low-income people of color. The author explores the role cooperatives play in creating c…
Community Development Credit Unions
Credit Unions, with a hundred year history, and Community Development Credit Unions (CDCUs), with a 30–40 year history of serving the under-served, have only recently begun to be recognized by some of the media and the progressive community as “safe havens” and fair lenders. There is little independent, academic research, however, that investigates and evaluates the ways that credit unions are community-rooted and responsive to local needs, and/o…
Wealth Affirming Policies for Women of Color
There are a range of solutions that address asset building challenges for low-wealth women. Here we highlight some solutions that focus on basic needs (child care, child support) and creating economic stability with disposable income (income available after basic needs are met); solutions that address predatory lending and the housing crisis; and solutions that focus on joint ownership of assets and community-based asset building

The author expands on questions about the place and role of economics and Black political economy in African American Studies by asking about what economic models are taught and how economic agency is taught. This article reiterates the importance of economic content in Africana Studies and proposes that even when economics is taught the focus is on poverty and theories about scarcity, competition, and discrimination without analyses of group eco…
Cooperative Ownership in the Struggle for African American Economic Empowerment

Introduction
Rhonda M. Williams
As the United States approaches the twenty-first century ... in an information-based, transnational and managerial economy, it is becoming increasingly apparent that if we do not better negotiate race and ethnicity in our society, we will not adequately solve the problems of economic inequality and discrimination. Racial and/or ethnic divisions and competition shape our efforts to understand and challenge hierarchy and inequity. As long as we ign…
Cooperative Economics—A Community Revitalization Strategy
African Americans and Post-Industrial Labor Markets
This collective portrait documents the disproportionate vulnerability of African Americans to the ongoing transformations of the U.S. economy from industrial to service areas as the twenty-first century approaches. chapters have been previously published in Review of Political Economy between 1991 and 1996. This volume represents one of the best sources of up-to-date perspectives on the circumstances facing African Americans in post-industrial la…
Social Science Literature Concerning African American Men
Research literature focusing specifically on the plight of African American males is a phenomenon of the latter half of the 20th century. From mid-century until the mid-1970s, this literature tended to focus on dysfunctional males and their contributions to what were considered to be the problems of Black families, the legacies of slavery and their impact on Black males (e.g., the killing off of the most assertive and smartest males, the disrupti…
