520    This book compares two challenges made to American public 
       school curricula in the 1980s and 1990s. It identifies 
       striking similarities between proponents of Afrocentrism 
       and creationism, accounts for their differential outcomes,
       and draws important conclusions for the study of culture, 
       organizations, and social movements. Amy Binder gives a 
       brief history of both movements and then describes how 
       their challenges played out in seven school districts. 
       Despite their very different constituencies--inner-city 
       African American cultural essentialists and predominately 
       white suburban Christian conservat.
