{"product_id":"9780807869208","title":"Integrating Schools in a Changing Society: New Policies and Legal Options for a Multiracial Generation","description":"As a result of tremendous social, legal, and political movements after the 1954 \u003ci\u003eBrown v. Board of Education\u003c\/i\u003e decision, the South led the nation in school desegregation from the late 1960s through the beginning of the twenty-first century. However, following a series of court cases in the past two decades--including a 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision that raised potentially strong barriers for districts wishing to pursue integration--public schools in the South and across the nation are now resegregating faster than ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this comprehensive volume, a roster of leading scholars in educational policy and related fields offer eighteen essays seeking to illuminate new ways for American public education to counter persistent racial and socioeconomic inequality in our society. Drawing on extensive research, the contributors reinforce the key benefits of racially integrated schools, examine remaining options to pursue multiracial integration, and discuss case examples that suggest how to build support for those efforts. Framed by the editors' introduction and a conclusion by Gary Orfield, these essays engage the heated debates over school reform and advance new arguments about the dangers of resegregation while offering practical, research-grounded solutions to one of the most pressing issues in American education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors are:\u003cbr\u003eCourtney Bell, Educational Testing Service\u003cbr\u003eRobert Bifulco, Syracuse University\u003cbr\u003eJohn Charles Boger, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u003cbr\u003eCasey D.
