This powerful and timely analysis takes stock of race and education
sixty years after the historic Brown vs. Board of Education
decision. This volume examines education as one of the most visible
markers for racial disparities in the US as well as one of its most
visible frontiers for racial justice. Featuring original research,
educators' insights, and perspectives from communities of color, it
documents the complex impact of social/educational policy on social
progress. Chapters on charter schools, curriculum content,
performance measurement, and disproportionalities in special
education referrals shed light on entrenched inequities that must
be confronted. The book also makes it clear that leveling the
playing field calls for not only better schools, but also
addressing pervasive social problems such as poverty and housing
segregation. Included in the coverage: School Policy is Housing
Policy: Deconcentrating Disadvantage to Address the Achievement
Gap. Charter Schooling, Race Politics, and an Appeal to History.
The Data Quality Movement for the Asian American and Pacific
Islander community: an unresolved civil rights issue. Critical
Ethnic Studies in High School Classrooms: Academic Achievement via
Social Action. Mexican American Educational Stagnation: The Role of
Generational Status, Parental Narratives and Educator Mes sages.
< Pinpointing crucial issues and opportunities for solutions,
Race, Equity, and Education has immediate salience for educators
and researchers studying the intersection of race and education.
