Summary:

Those, Kids, Our Schools examines patterns of racial interaction among students, teachers, and administrators in a large, integrated public high school. Griffin's perceptive analysis illuminates the persistent influence of race in our schools and classrooms. She shows how teachers and students can develop the capacity to address racial dynamics in schools in a frank and constructive way, and highlights the disservice being done to all students when educators fail to critically interrogate issues of race.
