Of course, this wasn't the first federal lawsuit to challenge school desegregation. But it was the first--and only--one brought by African Americans. In \u003ci\u003eDivided We Fail\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist Sarah Garland deftly and sensitively tells the stories of the families and individuals who fought for and against desegregation. By reframing how we commonly understand race, education, and the history of desegregation, this timely and deeply relevant book will be an important contribution to the continued struggle toward true racial equality.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Garland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807033332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807033333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Sarah Garland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120276173055,"sku":"9780807033333","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0953c127-7570-4b36-bee3-83a783867f35.jpg?v=1687413450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/divided-we-fail-sarah-garland-9780807033333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
