Commemorating Brown
Book (italiano):
Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision concerning school desegregation and also mindful of the role social psychology played in that decision by the Supreme Court, this collection offers a commemoration of the legacies of Brown and the contribution of psychological and other academic research to questions of racial justice. The editors (professors of psychology from the U. of Kansas) include 12 papers in all, addressing such topics as contemporary American relations between blacks and whites, the possibilities of reinvigorating the desegregation movement, academic contributions to understanding racism and its effects in the wake of Brown, the relationship between merit assessment and discrimination in education, desegregation and identity politics in South Africa, and the possibility of a sociocultural psychology of racism and oppression.
