Leading thinkers in the fields of race and public education discuss the current trend of resegregation in southern schools, a trend many policymakers would prefer to ignore, but that nonetheless profoundly affects public education in the South. Essays examine why resegregation is occurring; the effects of the trend, especially on students of color and in high-poverty areas; and what might be done to counteract it.
