Multiethnic Moments: The Politics of Urban Education Reform

When courts lifted their school desegregation orders in the 1990s - declaring that black and white students were now "integrated" in America's public schools - it seemed that a window of opportunity would open for Latinos, Asians, and people of other races and ethnicities to influence school reform efforts.

"Multiethnic Moments" examines school systems in four major U.S. cities - Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, and San Francisco - to uncover the factors that...
