Description

Fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, the US still has a long approach to go to score true integration of our educational system.

Using extensive interviews and a wealth of statistical information, Bankston and Caldas examine the failed desegregation efforts in Louisiana as a case study to turn how desegregation has followed the similar unsuccessful pattern across the US. Strong supporters of the dream of integration, Bankston and Caldas show that the practical difficulty with desegregation is that academic environments are created by the entire students in a school from the backgrounds that the entire students bring with them. Unfortunately, the disadvantages that minority children have to conquer have an effect on schools more than schools can assist treatment these disadvantages.
