Description: Featuring the contributions of some of the most progressive thinkers on poverty and race, this book focuses on the key questions: the possibility of achieving a true integration (as opposed to "mere" de-segregation), environmental justice, education and its role as a counter to structural poverty, and the promise (and lack thereof) of recent anti-poverty policies.-- publisher's description.
