《遏制:底特律、美國最高法院與美國北方的種族正義之戰》
THE CONTAINMENT: Detroit, the Supreme Court, and the Battle for Racial Justice in the North, by Michelle Adams
Michigan prohibited segregation in public education decades before the Supreme Court did the same for the nation in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. Yet nearly 20 years after Brown, the public schools in Detroit remained almost totally segregated. The story of how that happened, the failed effort to change it, and the implications for public education and civil rights today is the subject of Michelle Adams’s splendid new book, “The Containment.”
《遏制:底特律、美國最高法院與美國北方的種族正義之戰》,作者:米歇爾‧亞當斯
密西根州早在 1954 年最高法院通過布朗訴教育委員會案禁止公立教育中實行種族隔離之前幾十年就已禁止。米歇爾亞當斯 (Michelle Adams) 的精彩新書《遏制》講述了這一事件的發生過程、改變這一事件的失敗努力以及它對當今公共教育和公民權利的影響。
