Here we see resegregation through the lens of Charlotte, North Carolina, once a national model of successful desegregation, and home of the landmark \u003ci\u003eSwann\u003c\/i\u003e desegregation case, which gave rise to school busing. This book recounts the last forty years of Charlotte's desegregation and resegregation, putting education reform in political and economic context. Within a decade of the \u003ci\u003eSwann\u003c\/i\u003ecase, the district had developed one of the nation's most successful desegregation plans, measured by racial balance and improved academic outcomes for both black and white students. However, beginning in the 1990s, this plan was gradually dismantled. Today, the level of resegregation in Charlotte has almost returned to what it was prior to 1971. At the core of Charlotte's story is the relationship between social structure and human agency, with an emphasis on how yesterday's decisions and actions define today's choices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roslyn Arlin Mickelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612507565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612507569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Education PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/06\/2015 pg. 17","brand":"Roslyn Arlin Mickelson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984613736703,"sku":"9781612507569","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6606c478-12d7-4462-b66d-87e5af12bec1.jpg?v=1683273262","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yesterday-today-and-tomorrow-roslyn-arlin-mickelson-9781612507569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
