Overview
This book presents a discussion among scholars about the need for, implications of and critical issues involved in looking beyond school desegregation to focus on the quality of African American schooling.
The strategy of school desegregation is examined in the context of the power used by whites to control policy-making and implementation. The use of power by African Americans to resist schooling imposed by whites to maintain oppressive social relations is also discussed.

Booknews
The first volume in a new series contains 12 well-researched contributions which examine desegregation from its original intent of quality schooling for African Americans to its current incarnation of striving for racial balance in schools. The content is arranged in sections on historical and philosophical contexts, the politics of implementation, impact on African American community life and life in schools, and visions beyond desegregation.
