Dispersal, or 'bussing', was introduced in England in the
early-1960s after white parents expressed concerns that the sudden
influx of non-Anglophone South Asian children was holding back
their own children's education. It consisted in sending busloads of
mostly Asian children to predominantly white suburban schools in an
effort to 'spread the burden' and to promote linguistic and
cultural integration. Although seemingly well-intentioned,
dispersal proved a failure: it was based on racial identity rather
than linguistic deficiency and ultimately led to an increase in
segregation, as bussed pupils were daily confronted with racial
bullying in dispersal schools. This is the first ever book on
English bussing, based on an in-depth study of local and national
archives, alongside interviews with formerly-bussed pupils decades
later. -- .
