About this product
Product Information
The problems commonly associated with inner-city schools were not nearly as pervasive a century ago, when black children in most northern cities attended school alongside white children. In "Schools Betrayed," her innovative history of race and urban education, Kathryn M. Neckerman tells the story of how and why these schools came to serve black children so muchworse than their white counterparts. Focusing on Chicago public schools between 1900 and 1960, Neckerman compares the circumstances of blacks and white immigrants, groups that had similarly little wealth and status yet came to gain vastly different benefits from their education. Their divergent educational outcomes, she contends, stemmed from Chicago officials decision to deal with rising African American migration by segregating schools and denying black students equal resources. And it deepened, she shows, because of techniques for managing academic failure that only reinforced inequality. Ultimately, these tactics eroded the legitimacy of the schools in Chicago s black community, leaving educators unable to help their most disadvantaged students. "Schools Betrayed" will be required reading for anyone who cares about urban education."

"Neckerman''s analysis is a critically important reminder that education policies adopted beyond the confines of the schools can undermine the preconditions that contribute to constructive pedagogic relationships between teachers and students. . . . Her book powerfully documents the educational costs of societal and institutional racism in Chicago''s schools."Michael Olneck, American Journal of Sociology, "Neckerman''s analysis provides a welcome antidote to much of the historical literature on American education, which rarely examines actual policy choices. . . . Segregation did harm blacks, as this fine book shows."Jonathan Zimmerman, Journal of American History, Kathryn Neckerman brilliantly captures the elusive interaction of social, political, and economic contexts and on-the-ground education policy creation in Chicago during the twentieth century. She demonstrates that the devastating inequality that emerged for African Americans in the education system developed over many decades of small actions by ordinary people in both the public and private spheres--in politics, work places, housing markets and informal social settings, as well as schools. The restriction of opportunities for African Americans that resulted from day to day decisions in arenas both in and outside of schools speaks volumes about what must be done to create opportunities in urban schools for current minority students., This is an excellent book that could not be more timely or significant. Kathryn Neckerman sets out to explain why urban schools serve African American children so poorly. Her interpretation is bold. Schools Betrayed will force a reconsideration of the historiography of education, and will command immediate attention as one of the most important books ever written on the topic., Neckerman's analysis provides a welcome antidote to much of the historical literature on American education, which rarely examines actual policy choices. . . . Segregation did harm blacks, as this fine book shows., "Neckerman's powerful analysis challenged my thinking about the root causes of educational inequality. She overturns traditional explanations about economic decline, labor markets, and oppositional culture to show how school policies increasingly distanced blacks and white immigrants from 1930 to 1960. Neckerman is one of the few scholars who directly links higher-level policy decisions to everyday teacher-student classroom dynamics. It's an important story about much more than one city's school system."Jack Dougherty, Trinity College, Hartford, "Kathryn Neckerman's Schools Betrayed is one of those rare books that will become a standard reference not only for social scientists, historians, and school officials, but for educated lay readers as well. Through careful historical documentation of race and urban education in Chicago, Neckerman brilliantly uncovers the roots of antagonism, alienation, and disorder in inner-city classrooms. No previous study has provided a more definitive analysis of why so many black youngsters and their parents have lost faith in the public schools."William Julius Wilson, Lewis P. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor, Harvard University, " Kathryn Neckerman ' s Schools Betrayed is one of those rare books that will become a standard reference not only for social scientists, historians, and school officials, but for educated lay readers as well.& Through careful historical documentation of race and urban education in Chicago, Neckerman brilliantly uncovers the roots of antagonism, alienation, and disorder in inner-city classrooms.& No previous study has provided a more definitive analysis of why so many black youngsters and their parents have lost faith in the public schools.

The book is in amazing condition, above “acceptable” and shipped in a bubblewrap envelope. Though there are some soft color fading the top and bottom edge, it hardly seemed used and has that library book smell. Glad I took a chance because the description was general and there was no photo. Seller also didn’t provide additional description when asked. But they did promptly cancel my cancellation when asked and sent quickly. Thank you for the Tuesday surprise!

Seller listed this as hardback but sent a paperback version. I received it in a torn plastic mailer that exposed the book so I’m unsure about its initial quality vs any damage that may have occurred during delivery. I attempted contact x2 to replace it with the correct version with no reply. Waste of good money. Don’t trust this seller to ship what you actually buy or package it with care. Bait and switch.
