Description: Focuses on the politics surrounding the pursuit of equality of education in America for African Americans. Examines desegregation from its original intent of quality schooling for African Americans to its current incarnation of striving for racial balance in schools. Discusses the growing movement among African American families and communities to obtain quality schooling for their children in safe, anti-racist, culturally affirming, but segregated environments. This well-researched, in-depth look at the quality of schooling for African American students presents the views of two dozen scholars. They share their remarkable experiences and their interpretations of how desegregation has changed the content of education for the majority of African Americans.
