Studies which are relevant to the experiences of children in segregated and desegregated schools are reviewed and evaluated in this edition, including those completed by 1969. For purposes of the study segregation is defined as a socially patterned separation of people; desegregation as the abolition of social practices that bar equal access to opportunity. The chapters are concerned with: desegregation and academic achievement; aspiration and self concept; the student in school and in the family; the Riverside, California, school study due to be completed in 1972; non-Negro minorities; the Equal Educational Opportunity Survey and Racial Isolation in the Public Schools (two HEW studies); the Negro community and desegregation; and anti-desegregation critics. Included are a summary of the effects of desegregation, research trends, the author's conclusion, an author index, a geographical index of studies, and a bibliography. The first edition (1968) is available from EDRS as ED 031 527. (DJB)
