Targeting sophisticated undergraduates along with graduate students and specialists, this exciting new collection will capitalize on the growing interest in the historical foundations of the problems facing our schools today. This collection of cutting-edge essays and primary source documents represents a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives that will appeal to both social and cultural historians as well as those who teach education courses, including introductory surveys and foundations courses.
Inequity in Education, without question, adds much to our understanding of the American educational history from the colonial period to the 1990s. This carefully crafted and meticulously researched volume is a very impressive book and a must read by anyone who is sincerely interested in a unique analysis of the quest of various segments of the American population to obtain a quality education. All parties involved in this venture, especially editors Meyers and Miller, should be greatly commended for such a powerful piece. -- Eric R. Jackson, Northern Kentucky University
