Description and Table of Contents

Description

Specialists in the field of education, ethnic studies, and law, synthesize recent research on the desegregation process and outline relatively inexpensive steps for maximizing both educational equity and excellence. The contributors examine issues vital to decision making by judges, policy makers, educators, and parents of schoolchildren. Strategies for addressing the challenges of desegregation are suggested, and critical issues that require resolution for future policy and practices are identified.
