Derrick Darby, coauthor of 'The Color of Mind: Why the Origins of the Achievement Gap Matter for Justice'
“Calling for school integration as a remedy, the authors champion a civic-minded conception rooted in training students for democratic citizenship. But for egalitarian integrations to be successful, structural injustice must be dismantled. This book will be invaluable for scholars, educators, and activists fighting for educational equality.”
K. Tsianina Lomawaima, coauthor of ''To Remain an Indian': Lessons in Democracy from a Century of Native American Education'
“A revolutionary call to confront, challenge, and reform race-based inequity and injustice in the public school system in the United States—a must-read for parents, teachers, administrators, and students.”
Helen F. Ladd, coauthor of 'Educational Goods: Values, Evidence, and Decision-Making'
“The challenges arising from racial and ethnic inequalities in the United States are complex and defy simple solutions such as integrating schools. Using rich historical analysis and philosophical insights, Blum and Burkholder show us how to promote the civic and other educational goods necessary for a pluralistic democratic society. The book could not be more timely and relevant.”
