Review
“In a comprehensive, balanced, and detailed analysis of hundreds of studies, organized into topical chapters, [Weinberg] covers such issues as race and intelligence, desegregation and academic achievement, education in black schools, the education of Mexican and Native Americans, and minority experiences in higher education. The research cited represents a wide range of studies. The author's own conclusions are balanced, as in his summary of discriminatory practices within schools: `The course of desegregation depends greatly on the educational leadership that is brought to bear.' This is an excellent, readable, and even indispensable book.... More than a review of the literature, it defines the scope and diversity of minority education studies to date. Appropriate for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students.”–Choice
“Meyer Weinberg has written an excellent book concerning the promises and pitfalls faced by minority students during the past 30 years of desegregation. He brings to bear a clarity of analysis that makes for excellent reading for researchers and policymakers. More unusual, and to the author's credit, the book offers insights to parents trying to encourage their children to succeed in school. ... Researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and parents will find this an excellent book, and it is highly recommended.”–The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
