Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow provides a compelling analysis of the forces that have shaped the growing resegregation of public schools. Drawing on the experience of Charlotte, North Carolina once a national model of school desegregation the editors put education reform in political and economic context and show how yesterday s decisions define today s choices.
Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow paints a vivid portrait of the changing realities and daunting challenges facing school districts sixty years after Brown v. Board of Education. This careful analysis of the barriers to opportunity and limits on mobility point toward larger structural forces that must be confronted if we are to fulfill Brown s promise of equality. John A. Powell, director, Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society, and The Robert D. Haas Chancellor s Chair in Equity and Inclusion, University of California, Berkeley
Mickelson, Smith, and Nelson remind us why school desegregation matters for citizens and scholars alike. Their analyses show both the promise and the tragedy of using schools to solve America s problems. Jennifer Hochschild, Henry LaBarre Jayne Professor of Government, and professor of African and African American Studies, Harvard University
Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is a model of interdisciplinary policy analysis covering two long policy cycles of desegregation and resegregation. This excellent work poses important questions about the racial future of our metropolitan society. Gary Orfield, professor of education, law, political science, and urban planning, and codirector, The Civil Rights Project, University of California, Los Angeles
This book is a cautionary tale far less about a failed experience than about a rejected success that deserves serious attention by all who worry about the future of our increasingly diverse democracy. Jeannie Oakes, Presidential Professor Emerita in Educational Equity, University of California, Los Angeles
Roslyn Arlin Mickelson is a professor of sociology, public policy, and women s and gender studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Stephen Samuel Smith is a professor of political science at Winthrop University.
