Integrations

The Struggle for Racial Equality and Civic Renewal in Public Education

The promise of a free, high quality public education is supposed to guarantee every child a shot at the American Dream. Yet, today many children of color do not have access to equal educational opportunities due primarily to white supremacy and class privilege and inequality. In Integrations, historian Zoe Burkholder and philosopher Lawrence Blum investigate the relationship between school integration, societal disparities, and the long struggle for just and equitable schooling in the United States. Importantly, Integrations focuses on multiple marginalized groups in American schooling: African Americans, Native Americans, Latinxs, and Asian Americans. Ultimately, the authors show that in order to grapple with integration in a meaningful way, we must think of integration in the plural, both in its multiple histories and in the many possible meanings of and courses of action for integration. A justice-informed mode of school integration is essential for students to learn how to become engaged, knowledgeable citizens, capable of steering our experiment in multiracial democracy toward its professed ideals.
