Summary: GREAT EXAMPLE OF CASE STUDY RESEARCH
Comment: The case studies in this book were cogent and beautifully written. (Not common in case studies!!) The stories remind you that real people are involved in these decisions -- are important. However, the book, overall, doesn't hold together. I wish the case study author had written the entire book because some of the rest of it seems off point. I'd love to see an update in what's happening in districts like Norfolk and Montgomery County. A good book for any student of race relations or the judiciary.

Summary: a not so wonky explanation of important subject
Comment: finally, here is a book that shows with real people and real places the effects of the us of a's (the land of equality?? not) throwing out of the desegregation ideal. i happened to grow up in two places, Montgomery County Maryland (the chapter on this is right on) and also, a suburb right outside of Detroit, Michigan (the chapter on this is right on, too) and it's true that Montgomery County was this place that was pretty integrated but forgot about the importance of that when achievement became the big issue. the only problem with this book was the last chapter, it was on a topic which i really wanted to read about but could not stay awake. all in all, a good book that any good progressive needs to have on his or her bookshelf. C.

Summary: a readable (mostly) academic book!
Comment: This is an excellent book that I sat down to read for a class and it turned out to be actually compelling in many parts. The case studies (most of them) were excellent and persuasive. The book would have been better from more of this style all around, and maybe some connections -- some of the chapters were dull, but overall, a really complete overview that gets you thinking.
