520    Growing Up In Los Angeles in me 1970's and 1980's, roughly
       half of Furman's high school basketball teammates lived in
       the largely Anglo, and increasingly Jewish, San Fernando 
       Valley, while the other half were African American 
       students bused in from the inner city. Los Angeles was 
       embroiled in efforts to desegregate its public school 
       district, one of the largest and most segregated in the 
       country. Tensions came to a head as the state implemented 
       its forced busing plan, a radical integration program that
       was hotly contested among Los Angeles 
       residentsùparticularly among Valley residents and at all 
       levels of the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. 
520    In My Los Angeles in Black and (Almost) White, the Granada
       Hills High School basketball team serves as the entry 
       point for a trenchant exploration of the judicial, 
       legislative, and neighborhood battles over school 
       desegregation that gripped the city in the aftermath of 
       Brown volume Board of Education and that continue to 
       plague our "postracial" nation. Furman accesses a diverse 
       array of opinions on these years and on the current crisis
       of race and public education by examining landmark 
       judicial decisions, public policy studies, and newspaper 
       articles, and by interviewing key community leaders, 
       including former U.S. representative Bobbi Fiedler, the 
       Jewish activist who led the campaign to stop forced busing
       in Los Angeles, and retired Superior Court judge Paul Egly,
       with whom Fiedler and her allies wrangled. Furman also 
       documents a recent visit to Los Angeles during which he 
       met with several of his former teammates, coaches, and 
       neighbors. At once critical and fair-minded, My Los. 
520    Angeles in Black and (Almost) White cuts through the 
       incendiary rhetoric surrounding school desegregation to 
       offer a lucid, engaging, and informed account of our long 
       legacy and current challenges regarding race and public 
       education. --Book Jacket.
