Description

Fly within the Ointment chronicles the history of two school districts within the Upper Mill Creek (Ohio) Valley of the Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan area. The creation of both the black Lincoln Heights School District and the predominately white Princeton School District within the 1950s is a history of segregation even as the merger of these two districts within the 1970s – on the subject of twenty years after their formation – tells a unique story of desegregation. The writer uses quite a lot of methodologies to offer an accurate account from different perspectives of school segregation and desegregation in a specific region of the country. Fly within the Ointment combines «fictional» storytelling – an approach supported by important race theory – with historical and interview data to tell a whole narrative, including vital yet continuously unheard voices. The story of the Lincoln Heights School District and the Princeton School District illuminates the political, social, economic, and, of course, racial factors that led to their separation and union.
