The Resegregation of Schools Education and Race in the Twenty-First Century [Paperback]

Access to a quality education remains the primary mechanism for improving ones life chances in the United States, and for children of color, a good education is particularly linked to their individual and collective well-being. Despite the popular perception that America is in a post-racial epoch, opportunities to access quality learning environments and human development resources remain determined according to race, class, gender, and ability. Taking a more nuanced approach to race and the resegregation of the American school system, this volume examines how and why the education quality for the majority of students of color in America remains fundamentally unequal.
