"A cogent introduction to the topic of school desegregation efforts for students and lay readers, the primary audience for the book. The focus is on Detroit, but there is regular discussion of events throughout the United States allowing readers to make connections and identify larger currents. In addition it provides insight into complex multi-party
litigation and the workings of the federal court system. The reader is able to understand the decision-making environment of the trial court judge grappling with the complex facts and myriad details in creating a remedy to a constitutional violation. Furthermore, the reader will have a better understanding of the dynamics of decision-making by the U.S. Supreme Court."--Law and Politics Book Review"The possible audience for this book is not limited to judicial scholars but extends to the general public and students. In fact, the book would be a great supplement in an undergraduate course that covers school desegregation."--American Review of Politics
An important book on the most important school desegregation case since Brown v. Board of Education. . . . Full of riveting descriptions of the Supreme Court Justices' internal deliberations, the Nixon administration's maneuverings, and a contemporary political context that included anti-busing riots in Boston and growing demands from 'liberal' northern congressmen for a constitutional amendment to bar busing.--Michael J. Klarman, professor at Harvard Law School and author of the Bancroft-Prize winning From Jim Crow to Civil Rights
An excellent and well-written study that does a superb job illuminating the issues surrounding this case.--Davison M. Douglas, author of Jim Crow Moves North: The Battle over Northern School Segregation, 1865-1954
