Enduring Legacy describes a multifaceted paradox—a constant struggle between those who espouse a message of hope and inclusion and others who systematically plan for exclusion. Structured inequality ...in the nation’s schools is deeply connected to social stratification within American society. This paradox began in the eighteenth century and has proved an enduring legacy. Mark Ryan provides historical, political, and pedagogical contexts for teacher candidates—not only to comprehend the nature of racial segregation but, as future educators, to understand their own professional responsibilities, both in the community and in the school, to strive for an integrated classroom where all children have a chance to succeed. The goal of providing every child a world-class education is an ethical imperative, an inherent necessity for a functioning pluralistic democracy. The challenge is both great and growing, for teachers today will face an evermore segregated American classroom.

More than forty years have passed since Congress, in response to the Civil Rights Movement, enacted sweeping antidiscrimination laws in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, ...and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. As a signal achievement of that legacy, in 2008, Americans elected their first African American president. Some would argue that we have finally arrived at a postracial America, but The Imperative of Integration indicates otherwise. Elizabeth Anderson demonstrates that, despite progress toward racial equality, African Americans remain disadvantaged on virtually all measures of well-being. Segregation remains a key cause of these problems, and Anderson skillfully shows why racial integration is needed to address these issues. Weaving together extensive social science findings--in economics, sociology, and psychology--with political theory, this book provides a compelling argument for reviving the ideal of racial integration to overcome injustice and inequality, and to build a better democracy.
La lógica de acumulación del actual modelo de desarrollo ha favorecido la aparición y consolidación de procesos sociales de expresión espacial, como la segregación. Este fenómeno describe la ...disponibilidad y el acceso diferenciado a los bienes y servicios urbanos entre grupos sociales debido a su condición social, étnica o socioeconómica, lo que influye en niveles de empleo, desempeño educativo, deterioro urbanístico y degradación ambiental. En este contexto, el objetivo del artículo fue analizar la segregación socioespacial en el acceso a los bienes socioambientales proporcionados por los espacios verdes públicos (EVP) en una ciudad de tamaño medio, como es el caso de la ciudad de Durango, México. El análisis se basó en el uso de métodos de análisis y estadística espacial que involucraron cinco variables asociadas con los EVP: superficie, porcentaje, número, densidad y nivel socioeconómico de la población. A través de estas variables, se identificó un patrón espacial de segregación que se manifestó en cuatro agrupaciones que influyen en la forma en que se habita, se vive, se produce, se reproduce y se construye la ciudad de Durango.
Although trends in the racial segregation of schools are well documented, less is known about trends in income segregation. We use multiple data sources to document trends in income segregation ...between schools and school districts. Between-district income segregation of families with children enrolled in public school increased by over 15% from 1990 to 2010. Within large districts, between-school segregation of students who are eligible and ineligible for free lunch increased by over 40% from 1991 to 2012. Consistent with research on neighborhood segregation, we find that rising income inequality contributed to the rise in income segregation between schools and districts during this period. The rise in income segregation between both schools and districts may have implications for inequality in students' access to resources that bear on academic achievement.
ZusammenfassungIn den drei deutschen Stadtstaaten wurden mit Beginn der Schuljahre 2009/10 (Bremen) und 2010/11 (Berlin und Hamburg) Zwei-Wege-Modelle eingeführt, die in der Sekundarstufe nur noch ...Gymnasien und Gesamtschulen umfassen. Anhand von Daten der vom Institut zur Qualitätsentwicklung im Bildungswesen (IQB) in den Jahren 2009 und 2015 durchgeführten Schulleistungsstudien werden Unterschiede im Schulartbesuch zwischen Schülern mit und Schülern ohne Migrationshintergrund jeweils vor und nach Kontrolle von Indikatoren für Leistung und Sozialstatus untersucht, um zu prüfen, wie sie sich im Zuge der Schulstrukturreformen verändert haben. Es zeigt sich, dass Schüler mit Migrationshintergrund in mehrgliedrigen Schulsystemen vor allem an Haupt- und Realschulen und in den Zwei-Wege-Modellen dann an Gesamtschulen überrepräsentiert sind. In Berlin und Bremen hat ethnische Segregation zwischen Schularten abgenommen; in Hamburg zeigte sich keine signifikante Veränderung. Bei ähnlicher Leistung und ähnlichem Sozialstatus besuchen Schüler mit Migrationshintergrund häufiger das Gymnasium als Schüler ohne Migrationshintergrund. Diese Tendenz wurde in Berlin und Bremen erst in den Zwei-Wege-Modellen festgestellt und könnte zur Abnahme der Segregation beigetragen haben.

The United States Supreme Court's 1954 landmark decision, Brown v. Board of Education, set into motion a process of desegregation that would eventually transform American public schools. This book ...provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of how Brown's most visible effect--contact between students of different racial groups--has changed over the fifty years since the decision.
This article has as its first objective to discuss the reality of the inhabitants of a traditional riverside community, inserted for at least two decades, involuntarily, within the urban mash of the ...Urbanova neighborhood, west of the city of Sao Jose dos Campos, SP These riverine community is formed by a traditional fishing community and live in an irregular settlement located in a risky and permanent protection area. The fact that they are not the landowners together with the omission of public power generate feelings of exclusion and socio-spatial segregation in addition to social and environmental problems. Secondly, it was studied the survival strategies adopted by the residents of this community. Finally, their perspectives of insertion in urban life will be investigated through the research conducted with these residents, and the documentary and bibliographic research. Facing so many uncertainties, it is estimated that the population is at a crossroad, which is seen as a dilemma or the impossibility of decision-making, except those ones involving the strategies of their survival and maintenance in the area. Keywords: Territory. Riverside Community. Socio-spatial Segregation. Urban policy. Permanent Protection Area. O presente artigo visa discutir a realidade dos habitantes de uma comunidade ribeirinha tradicional, inserida ha ao menos duas decadas, involuntariamente, dentro da malha urbana do bairro Urbanova, regiao oeste da cidade de Sao Jose dos Campos, SP.

In Your Children Are Very Greatly in Danger, the veteran journalist JustinMurphymakes the compelling argument that the educational disparities in Rochester, New York, are the result of historical and ...present-day racial segregation. Education reform alone will never be the full solution; to resolve racial inequity, cities such as Rochester must first dismantle segregation.Drawing on never-before-seen archival documents as well as scores of new interviews, Murphyshows how discriminatory public policy and personal prejudice combined to create the racially segregated education system that exists in the Rochester area today. Alongside this dismal history, Murphyrecounts the courageous fight for integration and equality, from the advocacy of Frederick Douglass in the 1850s to a countywide student coalition inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement in the 2010s. This grinding antagonism, featuring numerous failed efforts to uphold the promise ofBrown v. Board of Education, underlines that desegregation and integration offer the greatest opportunity to improve educational and economic outcomes for children of color in the United States. To date, that opportunity has been lost in Rochester, and persistent poor academic outcomes have been one terrible result. Your Children Are Very Greatly in Danger is a history of Rochester with clear relevance for today. The struggle for equity in Rochester, like in many northern cities, shows how the burden of history lies on the present. A better future for these cities requires grappling with their troubled pasts.Murphy's account is a necessary contribution to twenty-first-century Rochester.
