But our widely segregated schools mean that many children of color do not have access to educational opportunities equal to those of their white peers. In \u003ci\u003eIntegrations\u003c\/i\u003e, historian Zoë Burkholder and philosopher Lawrence Blum investigate what this country's long history of school segregation means for achieving just and equitable educational opportunities in the United States. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eIntegrations\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on multiple marginalized groups in American schooling: African Americans, Native Americans, Latinxs, and Asian Americans. The authors show that in order to grapple with integration in a meaningful way, we must think of integration in the plural, both in its multiple histories and in the many possible definitions of and courses of action for integration. Ultimately, the authors show, integration cannot guarantee educational equality and justice, but it is an essential component of civic education that prepares students for life in our multiracial democracy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLawrence Blum\u003c\/b\u003e is emeritus professor of philosophy and distinguished professor of liberal arts and education at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
