2018 Outstanding Academic Title, given by Choice Magazine A
comprehensive examination of developmental inequality among
children Developmental equality-whether every child has an equal
opportunity to reach their fullest potential-is essential for
children's future growth and access to opportunity. In the United
States, however, children of color are disproportionately affected
by poverty, poor educational outcomes, and structural
discrimination, limiting their potential. In Reimagining Equality,
Nancy E. Dowd sets out to examine the roots of these inequalities
by tracing the life course of black boys from birth to age 18 in an
effort to create an affirmative system of rights and support for
all children. Drawing on interdisciplinary research, the book
demonstrates that black boys encounter challenges and barriers that
funnel them toward failure rather than developmental success. Their
example exposes a broader reality of hierarchies among children,
linked to government policies, practices, structures, and
institutions. Dowd argues for a new legal model of developmental
equality, grounded in the real challenges that children face on the
basis of race, gender, and class. Concluding with a "New Deal" for
all children, Reimagining Equality provides a comprehensive set of
policies that enables our political and legal systems to dismantle
what harms and discriminates children, and maximize their
development.
