Harry Holzer has an interesting new working paper that revisits the old mid-1960s Daniel Moynihan report. It's only 20-something pages long, and is a good summary/overview of the literature on Black outcomes (particularly Black males) falling with respect to other racial groups.
Another worthwhile, but long, paper is this one by Stephen Raphael and Michael Stoll entitled "Why are so many Americans in prison?" It documents the tremendous boom in the construction of prisons and the expansion of prison populations, as well as law enforcement changes such as sentencing laws and stricter laws on drug possession and drug trafficking.
