Coming Apart is a powerful and insightful book that examines the widening racial and economic divide in America. Through in-depth interviews and extensive data analysis, sociologist Danielle Robinson reveals the profound impact that these disparities have on individuals and communities across the country.

Robinson begins by exploring the historical roots of inequality in America. She shows how the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws has created a persistent racial wealth gap that continues to disadvantage African Americans today. She also discusses the role of class in shaping opportunity, arguing that the decline of the middle class has made it increasingly difficult for all Americans to achieve economic security.

Robinson's research is based on in-depth interviews with people from all walks of life. She speaks to poor and working-class whites who feel left behind by the economy, as well as to middle-class and affluent blacks who have benefited from the expansion of opportunity. Through these interviews, Robinson provides a nuanced and deeply personal account of the challenges and triumphs of living in a divided society.

Coming Apart is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complex social and economic forces that are shaping our nation. Robinson's powerful and insightful analysis provides a clear-eyed look at the challenges facing America today, and offers a roadmap for a more just and equitable future.
