The premise is that the editors of this book believe that we have reached an impasse on school integration issues that require a serious evaluation of where we are going and what we are doing. They are of the opinion that much of the confusion and bitterness we are experiencing stems from the fact that major changes have taken place in American life that have not been fully absorbed into our thinking. In this book are included several essays describing voluntary desegregation programs. Also included are a number of essays calculated to show the changes that have taken place in America and the thinking about the subject in the past quarter a century. Other essays attempt to suggest how schools can take into account these changes and get on with the business of integration and improving equal educational opportunity for all children. The editors believe a school system and a society that is more desegregated is, in the main, healthier than one that is not.

For 300 years, American culture and society have been shaped by ethnic conflict. This book reveals how the unique characteristics of the American socio-political system have impacted intergroup conflict. This contributed volume collects the most current thinking on intergroup dynamics and on specific conflicts and specific groups with a special emphasis on the Jewish-American experience. The demographic portrait of this country has undergone vast changes. Many newly emerging groups that promote building group pride and solidarity are obtaining greater economic and political power. This current emphasis on groups also sheds light on the tribal dimension of the past in American life. This contributed volume examines how these forces are to be reconciled and will be of interest to students of sociology, religion, and multicultural studies.
