The Resegregation of Suburban Schools:  A Hidden Crisis in American Education

“The United States today is a suburban nation that thinks of race as an urban issue, and often assumes that it has been largely solved.”

In this groundbreaking and passionately argued book, editors Erica Frankenberg and Gary Orfield, and their author-colleagues, show that the locus of racial and ethnic transformation in American schools is now clearly suburban. The book illustrates patterns of demographic change and considers how school officials and community leaders can improve opportunities for suburban low-income students and students of color.

The book considers what kinds of strategies school officials and community leaders can pursue at all levels to improve opportunities for suburban low-income students and students of color, and what ways address the challenges associated with demographic change.
