"""Harwood tackles a fascinating story and imparts new insights that could help guide readers to imagine a better future for schoolchildren. Wake provides a powerful narrative as a major school integration program that has been sustained to this day."" --Richard D. Kahlenberg ""author of The Remedy: Class, Race, and Affirmative Action"""
“Harwood tackles a fascinating story and imparts new insights that could help guide readers to imagine a better future for schoolchildren. Wake provides a powerful narrative as a major school integration program that has been sustained to this day.” -- Richard D. Kahlenberg * author of The Remedy: Class, Race, and Affirmative Action * “Karey Harwood does a brilliant job of describing Wake County, North Carolina’s struggles to create a more equitable and integrated school system. Most importantly, Harwood shows how “school choice” has seriously undermined those efforts, providing a cautionary tale of how charters and vouchers now facilitate the new white flight, forcing the reader to consider the consequences of viewing schooling as a marketplace commodity.” -- Carol Corbett Burris * author of On the Same Track: How Schools Can Join the Twenty-First-Century Struggle against Resegreg *
