The Search for Quality Integrated Education - Policy and Research on Minority Students in School and College

"In a comprehensive, balanced, and detailed analysis of hundreds of studies, organized into topical chapters, [Weinberg] covers such issues as race and intelligence, desegregation and academic achievement, education in black schools, the education of Mexican and Native Americans, and minority experiences in higher education. The research cited represents a wide range of studies. The author's own conclusions are balanced, as in his summary of discriminatory practices within schools: The course of desegregation depends greatly on the educational leadership that is brought to bear.' This is an excellent, readable, and even indispensable book.... More than a review of the literature, it defines the scope and diversity of minority education studies to date. Appropriate for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students."-Choice
