Klappentext This extensively revised edition of Blacks in the White Establishment? shows why America is at a crucial juncture in relations between blacks and whites, when advances made since the Civil Rights Movement could either continue or retrench, depending on the decisions made by our governments, communities, and schools. The voices of African Americans heard in this book bring home for the reader the everyday impact of national policy issues and debates on race and class in America. Zusammenfassung This revised work adds 15 years to the life stories of the African Americans whose opportunities were dramatically changed by a nationally prominent educational opportunity programme that provided scholarships for disadvantaged people of colour to attend the same boarding schools as wealthy whites.
