Making the Unequal Metropolis: School Desegregation and Its Limits by Ansley T.

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Making the Unequal Metropolis by Ansley T. Erickson In a radically unequal United States, schools are often key sites in which injustice grows. Ansley T. Ericksons Making the Unequal Metropolis presents a broad, detailed, and damning argument about the inextricable interrelatedness of school policies and the persistence of metropolitan-scale inequality. While many accounts of education in urban and metropolitan contexts describe schools as the victims of forces beyond their control, Erickson shows the many ways that schools have been intertwined with these forces and have in fact—via land-use decisions, curricula, and other tools—helped sustain inequality. Taking Nashville as her focus, Erickson uncovers the hidden policy choices that have until now been missing from popular and legal narratives of inequality. In her account, inequality emerges not only from individual racism and white communities resistance to desegregation, but as the result of long-standing linkages between schooling, property markets, labor markets, and the pursuit of economic growth. By making visible the full scope of the forces invested in and reinforcing inequality, Erickson reveals the complex history of, and broad culpability for, ongoing struggles in our schools.

It is an important and timely book. Over six decades after Brown v. Board of Education (1954), Ericksons study provides new ways of thinking, talking, and teaching about the history and legacies of school segregation in the United States."-- "Journal of Southern History""Wherever this historiography moves next, scholars will do well to engage with the work of [Erickson]...[Making the Unequal Metropolis] deserves a thorough read to better understand how American society became so unequal during the twentieth century and, possibly, to deal with how to unmake the hundreds of small choices (p. 4)." -- "History of Education: Journal of the History of Education Society""Making the Unequal Metropolis provides the model for a comprehensive history that explores how factors both within the school system and without have interacted to increase inequality. Erickson convincingly demonstrates that neither white flight nor de facto residential segregation were the dominant factors that gutted policy efforts aimed at increasing equality; instead, it was the districts enactment of those policies. In making multiple and varied decisions that redistributed material, human, and social resources to privileged white suburban students--even within policy interventions ostensibly targeting equality--educational inequality was remade."-- "History of Education Quarterly" Review Quote "Wherever this historiography moves next, scholars will do well to engage with the work of [Erickson]...[ Making the Unequal Metropolis ] deserves a thorough read to better understand how American society became so unequal during the twentieth century and, possibly, to deal with how to unmake the hundreds of small choices (p. 4)."
