Fresh Insight on Racial Dynamics and Academic Achievement in Schools "Unfinished Business illuminates the challenges in overcoming
the current inequities in public education. Fifty years after Brown
v. Board of Education, this book exposes a 'tale of two schools'
where students walk through the same high school doors but remain
racially and academically segregated within--a condition mirrored
in urban schools and districts across the nation. The authors offer
a hopeful, yet urgent, call to invest in youth on the front side of
life and to hold fast to the vision of a future where all children
can truly learn, achieve, and dream to their highest
potential." "It should concern us deeply as scholars, policymakers, and
practitioners that at one of our nation's best schools--one that is
deemed as 'working' and highly successful according to official
accounts--children's destinies are no less circumscribed by race
and class. This book contains a clear wake-up call in its masterful
account of deep and abiding commitments to educational
equity." "It's a powerful experience to immerse oneself in this book. The
many voices of teachers--and even of kids and families--reveal that
many inequities remain hidden in our schools. Unfinished Business
shows that there's work to be done, and provokes us into thinking
more deeply about answers."
