Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Unpacks how racism and racial inequity is embedded in our nation's Social Security System and Retirement and Disability programs.
MoreLong description:
The Color of Social Security traces the myriad ways and interconnected social systems in which racism has been embedded into American social security programs. Drawing on American history, Jon Dubin exposes institutionalized processes undermining racially equitable receipt of retirement and disability benefits. Examples include the 1935 Social Security Act, which excluded Black agricultural and domestic workers in order to protect the postbellum Southern racial economic and political order; the 1972 Supplemental Security Income program's exclusion of persons of color in the U.S. territories, with genesis in 125 years of racialized colonial domination; 1980s criminal justice system restrictions; systemic racial bias in disability decisions in the 1990s; disability eligibility obstacles from "race-norming" in the 2000s; and the misevaluation of Black claimants with sickle cell disease under Social Security Administration regulations since 2015. While exploring these histories, Dubin offers concrete solutions to address racial inequity and create a more equitable future.
'In The Color of Social Security, Jon Dubin offers a powerful reexamination of one of America's most revered social welfare programs, revealing how race, disability, criminalization, and colonialism have shaped both its design and its outcomes. Through meticulous legal, historical, and policy analysis, the book exposes enduring structural inequities while making a compelling case for strengthening Social Security by confronting its racialized foundations and current disparities.' Deborah N. Archer, President of the ACLU and Margaret B. Hoppin Professor of Law, New York University School of Law
