The Souls of Desegregated Folk --Notes --IndexThis is the untold story of a generation that experienced one of the most extraordinary chapters in our nation's history-school desegregation. Many have attempted to define desegregation, which peaked in the late 1970's, as either a success or a failure; surprisingly few have examined the experiences of the students who lived though it. Featuring the voices of blacks, whites, and Latinos who graduated in 1980 from racially diverse schools, Both Sides Now offers a powerful firsthand account of how desegregation affected students-during high school and later in life. Their stories, set in a rich social and historical context, underscore the manifold benefits of school desegregation while providing an essential perspective on the current backlash against it.School integrationUnited StatesCase studiesMinority high school studentsUnited StatesCase studies20th century american education.20th century american history.american culture.american education system.american history.american politics.bonds.education.friendships.government and governing.high school students.historical.politics.race in america.racial segregation.racially diverse schools.school desegregation.school setting.segregation.separate but equal.students and schools.students and teachers.united states of america.School integrationMinority high school students379.2/630973DO 9002rvkWells Amy, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1504316Wells Amy Stuart1961-1504317MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780639103321Both sides now3733258UNINA
