Description

This collection of essays will help readers to disentangle the complex relationship between school choice and student diversity in the post-Brown era. Presenting the views of the most prominent researchers of school choice reforms in the U.S., this book argues that the contexts under which school choice plans are adopted are actually responsible for shaping student diversity within schools. Using sociological, economic, and political analysis, the authors present studies of controlled and voluntary choice plans, charter schools, private school selection, and their interaction with race, social class, gender, and student disability.
