Still Failing: The Continuing Paradox of School Desegregation is a
significantly updated and revised version of Caldas and Bankston's
previous book Forced to Fail: The Paradox of School Desegregation.
The book includes an analysis of the most significant Supreme Court
cases that have been decided in the ten years since the first
edition of the book appeared. The authors consider the important
implications of these recent rulings for the future of school
desegregation in America's schools. Social capital theory is used
to explain why schools and communities continue to be segregated
along racial and ethnic lines. Still Failing also provides the most
recent U.S. census and Department of Education statistics
documenting the continuing segregation of American schools and
districts. The book also continues to track the persistent racial
achievement gap, using the newest ACT, SAT, and NAEP testing
figures. Finally, the book considers what present segregation
trends portend for future efforts to racially and ethnically
integrate schools, and close achievement gaps. Additional key
features of this book include: *Historical antecedents showing how
and why American schooling became racially segregated *Social
capital theory to explain school and community segregation *The
legal history of all important supreme court cases, congressional
laws and presidential executive orders related to school
segregation and desegregation *Easy-to-read and interpret graphs
and figures *The most up-to-date school population and census
