"The first major battle over school choice came out of struggles over equalizing and
integrating schools in the civil rights era, when it became apparent that choice could
be either a serious barrier or a significant tool for reaching these goals. The second
large and continuing movement for choice was part of the very different anti-government,
individualistic, market-based movement of a more conservative period in which many
of the lessons of that earlier period were forgotten, though choice was once again
presented as the answer to racial inequality. This book brings civil rights back into
the center of the debate and tries to move from doctrine to empirical research in
exploring the many forms of choice and their very different consequences for equity
in U.S. schools. Leading researchers conclude that although helping minority children
remains a central justification for choice proponents, ignoring the essential civil
rights dimensions of choice plans risks compounding rather than remedying racial inequality."
