On Equal Terms

Discover the profound insights of "On Equal Terms" by Douglas S. Reed, published by Princeton University Press in 2003. This compelling work spans 264 pages and delves into the critical issues surrounding educational opportunity in the United States since the desegregation battles of the 1960s and 1970s.

Reed explores how the legal pursuit of educational equity has been shaped by race, examining the consequences of efforts to utilize state constitutional provisions aimed at reducing the 'resource segregation' of American schools. He also sheds light on the political dynamics that oppose these vital decisions.

Perfect for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersections of education, discrimination, and politics, "On Equal Terms" offers a thought-provoking analysis that is both informative and essential for understanding the ongoing challenges in the American educational system.
