Summary:

Racial inequality has plagued the American school system for centuries. Since the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, integration has been seen as the path to rectifying this inequality. Blum, a philosopher, and Burkholder, an historian, look at the history of the denial of equality to African Americans, Native Americans, Latinxs, and Asian Americans, and their struggles for educational justice. The four different groups have had differing histories and different complex relationships to the goal of integration, sometimes embracing it, sometimes rejecting it, yet always seeking equality and recognition of their distinctive heritages, cultures, and group identities within schools and curricula.
