The Resegregation of Schools: Education and Race in the Twenty-First Century (Routledge Research in Education)

Access to a quality education remains the primary mechanism for improving one's 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.
