New Directions in the History of Education: Crossing Segregated Boundaries : Remembering Chicago School Desegregation (Hardcover)
(No ratings yet)
Key item features
Scholars have long explored school desegregation through various lenses, examining policy, the role of the courts and federal government, resistance and backlash, and the fight to preserve Black schools. However, few studies have examined the group experiences of students within desegregated schools. Crossing Segregated Boundaries centers the experiences of over sixty graduates of the class of 1988 in three desegregated Chicago high schools. Chicago’s housing segregation and declining white enrollments severely curtailed the city’s school desegregation plan, and as a result desegregation options were academically stratified, providing limited opportunities for a chosen few while leaving the majority of students in segregated, underperforming schools. Nevertheless, desegregation did provide a transformative opportunity for those students involved. While desegregation was the external impetus that brought students together, the students themselves made integration possible, and many students found that the few years that they spent in these schools had a profound impact on broadening their understanding of different racial and ethnic groups. In very real ways, desegregated schools reduced racial isolation for those who took part.

About this item
Product details
Students who attended desegregated schools in the 1980s actively engaged to make integration work while navigating segregated boundaries. Crossing Segregated Boundaries details the struggles that students, schools, and communities undergo to integrate, and highlights how Chicago’s implementation of desegregation focused on school choice and used public transportation to avert busing protests.
