Diversity High offers special insight into school change and social
transition in racially divided communities. It underlines the
obvious notion that change is difficult and confirms that
leadership in an academic environment matters in changing schools.
Vandeyar and Jansen provide a thorough investigation allowing
readers to distinguish second-order changes (changes to curriculum,
staffing, culture, and leadership), from first-order changes,
(changes in student complexion in de-racializing schools). The
study demonstrates the non-linearity of reforms by capturing the
dynamism of change in powerful photographic records ranging from
origins to change (demonstrated through black and white to color
pictures). Conveying complexity through the ways in which race,
class and culture intersect to produce unintended consequences;
this book is concise and expertly researched. Ultimately, Vandeyar
and Jansen celebrate human agency over determinist structures at
the center of change through their in-depth analysis of a white
South African high school that pursued transformation against the
grain of its own racial biography.
