American Denial: People at the Margins
Clip: Season 16 Episode 9 | 1m 55s
American Denial premieres on PBS’s Independent Lens on Monday, February 23, 2015.
In this excerpt from the Independent Lens documentary American Denial, researcher Sudhir Venkatesh talks about his own survey of African Americans entrenched in poor housing projects. One leader of a gang told him, “If you really want to know what life is like you gotta get closer, hang around with us.” This is what Gunnar Myrdal tried to do as well, in his landmark study of race in America.
