Summary
With clarity, passion, and creativity, the author offers a new and promising lens for viewing the unsolved issues of race and education. In this book, she provides a comprehensive examination of four major race-conscious educational policies: bilingual education, multicultural curricula, affirmative action, and remedial education. Shar argues that such policies are critical to fostering self-determination and personal autonomy in students who will otherwise be left with a deficient education.
