Dismantling Desegregation
The Quiet Reversal of Brown v. Board of Education
“A wise . . . authoritative book” (Jonathan Kozol) on America’s return to segregation
Dismantling Desegregation explains the consequences of resegregation and offers direction for a more constructive route toward an equitable future. By citing case studies of ten school districts across the country, Orfield and Eaton uncover the demise of what many feel have been the only legally enforceable routes of access and opportunity for millions of school children in America.
