How - and why - have children of blacks, American Indians,
Mexican-Americans, and Puerto Ricans been deprived by and often
excluded from the so-called American educational system? In this
classic 1977 study of a problem neglected or undervalued in most
standard histories of American education, Professor Meyer Weinberg
seeks the answers. Concretely and empirically, he shows that from
their forebearers' first contact with dominant American society,
minority children have been shockingly disadvantaged by the public
schools. Instead of accepting this passively, however, minority
group parents and leaders have struggled against it. Their efforts
and those of others to secure the amount and quality of schooling
that majority offspring get almost routinely were largely failures.
Dr Weinberg claims this was inevitable but says that without a
clear understanding that efforts were made, no further efforts can
ever succeed.
