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 studiesSchool integrationMinority high school students379.2/630973DO 9002rvkWells Amy, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1969732Wells Amy Stuart1961-1969733MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911090144803321Both sides now4735351UNINA
