Titre(s) : School desegregation [Texte électronique] : oral histories toward understanding the effects of white domination / ed. by George W. Noblit
Publication : Rotterdam [u.a.] : Sense Publ., 2015
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Collection : Breakthroughs in the sociology of education ; 4
Note(s) : This book is written for the Millennial Generation to educate them about what school
desegregation was actually about - the struggle over white domination in the United
States. The textbooks they read as high school students describe the heroic efforts
of African Americans to achieve civil rights but do not describe who was denying them
these rights - white Americans. The oral histories in this book reveal how individuals
navigated efforts to achieve educational equity amidst efforts to reassert white domination.
These accounts counter the textbook history the Millennial Generation read which omits
the massive white resistance to school desegregation, the various ways whites used
subterfuge to slow down and redirect school desegregation in what would more benefit
whites, and the concerted white political backlash that has been ensconced in educational
policy and reform beginning with A Nation at Risk and continuing in No Child Left
Behind. That is, educational policy as we know it is all about asserting white domination
and not about educating children, and thus the Millennial Generation is faced with
undoing what their parents and grandparents have done
