Subverting Swann: First- and Second-Generation Segregation in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
Mickelson, Roslyn Arlin
American Educational Research Journal, v38 n2 p215-52 Sum 2001
Uses survey data from 1,833 high school students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, North Carolina, to study the direct and indirect negative effects of segregation on academic achievement in the context of the "Swann" court decision. Demonstrates how whites retain privileged access to greater opportunities to learn and how segregated schooling maintains the racial gap in achievement. (SLD)
