Description: "Surveying the two centuries that preceded Jim Crow&#x2019;s demise, Race and Education in New Orleans traces the course of the city&#x2019;s education system from the colonial period to the start of school desegregation in 1960. This timely historical analysis reveals that public schools in New Orleans both suffered from and maintained the racial stratification that characterized urban areas for much of the twentieth century" --
