Many theories aid in the topic of Blacks being unemployed however I will be discussing two which are Critical Urban Theory and Human Capitol Theory. These two theories will contribute to the role that it plays and why it will show why it is important to adopt a theory or theories.
Critical Urban Theory
Critical Urban Theory kept appearing while doing my research on Urban Theory. According to Peter Marcuse, a Professor at Grand Valley State University, “A critical urban theory can develop the principles around which the deprived and the alienated can make common cause in pursuit of the Right to the City.” (2009) This theory was applied to unemployment in the inner city. Blacks are deprived and is alienated from resources that are needed to survive. One being jobs in the community.
