Book Synopsis
Education, economics, and sociology are among the perspectives the contributors bring to bear as they examine some important equity issues facing American public education in the long wake the 1954 US Supreme Court ruling against racial discrimination in public schools. The major theme is that equity-minded policies have been endangered since the 1980s by the rise of the notion of excellence. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
